This article helps students understand the concepts of electricity and circuits.

A current can be induced in a conducting loop if it is exposed to a changing magnetic field. (Java tutorial)

Alternating current behaves differently, depending on what components are in a circuit.

Review the components of a circuit and their symbols such as battery, resistor, and switch. Analyze how the power of a resistor is related to the current and electric potential difference across the resistor.

Find out how the SPARKS DMM can measure AC voltage and current.

Magnetic shunts are often used to adjust the amount of flux in the magnetic circuits found in most electrical motors. (Java tutorial)

At this site from Georgia State University parallel and series connections of resistors are explained and illustrated. Equations for computing the overal voltage, current, and resistance of such circuits are given and explained.
