Concord Consortium: Dc Circuits: Parallel Resistances (Sparks 2)

This interactive simulation guides you through the wiring of the standard breadboard and presents you with questions regarding voltage drops and currents in series resistive circuits.

Answer questions regarding voltage drops across resistors and currents through them in such circuits. Practice calculating the effective resistances of a set of resistances in series and parallel.

In this electrical activity, students answer a series of 27 open-ended questions pertaining to DC circuits by analyzing electrical schematics. This activity is printable and there are on-line answers to the questions.

In this DC circuits worksheet, students are assessed given 31 schematics of DC circuits and they determine the given conditions, the parameters and an analysis of each.

In this module Activity 2 investigates What holds the atoms of a molecule together?The activity will explore what holds atoms together and why they from a molecule. Bonus reading includes Same Molecules but Different Representations.

Students explore connections between electric forces and molecules using simulations, and explain energy transfers using conservation of energy. This concept will be explored in the following activities. Activity 1 What makes materials...

Discover a sequence of all-resistor DC circuits in which one of the resistors is either open or short-circuited.

Manipulate the charge on objects to explore the relationship between charge, electric field, and forces on objects.

In this interactive, students can explore how current, voltage, and resistance are related in a model showing the flow of electrons in an electric circuit. They will learn about Ohm's law and how other forms of energy can be made from...

A learning module with built-in interactive features where students can observe how electrons behave. Using a virtual scanning tunneling microscope (STM), they experiment with moving the electrons inside an atom around. The STM has two...
