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.

Electrical currents and voltage are defined and illustrated.

This lab was designed to help students understand the difference between circuits powered by DC and circuits powered by AC. Students can see that simple changes in frequency lead to changes in the potential difference across the...

An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounters resistance. In this tutorial, the concept of resistance is introduced. For an electron, the journey from terminal to terminal is not a direct route....

When two or more electrical devices in a circuit can be connected, it is considered a series connection or a parallel connection. When all the devices are connected using series connections, the circuit is referred to as a series...

What four arrangements would result in the successful lighting of a lightbulb? And more importantly, what does each of the four arrangements have in common that would lead to an understanding of the two requirements of an electric...

There are certain formulas in physics that are so powerful and so pervasive that they reach the state of popular knowledge. The predominant equation which pervades the study of electric circuits is often referred to as the Ohm's law...

Review the key terms and skills related to Kirchhoff's loop rule, including how to determine the electric potential difference across a component.

This tutorial investigates pendulum motion and how a variety of quantities change over the course of time. Such quantities will include forces, position, velocity and energy - both kinetic and potential energy. Take the interactive...

This review from the Glenbrook South High School provides a series of questions on various topics associated with static electricity (such as electrical insulation). Answers and explanations are hidden, yet easily accessed from within a...

In this unit students take a deeper look into charges beyond the simplified 'opposites attract." Students learn to calculate those attractive and repulsive forces and to show how invisible fields are responsible for them.

This lab was designed to help students understand the difference between circuits powered by DC and circuits powered by AC. Students can see that simple changes in frequency lead to changes in the potential difference across the...
