Electricity is the focus of this college-level midterm exam. It requres physics learners to answer multiple choice and short answer questions in addition to evaluating several diagrams and graphs. This is appropriate for most high school...

We can see the result of electricity  but not the process itself. The simulation compares electric circuits to a water tower and water wheel cycle. Young scientists adjust the height of the tower, the amount of resistance, and if...

Some things are hard to resist. Small collaborative groups build circuits and calculate the voltage using Ohm's Law. Budding engineers explore the connection between the voltage across different resistors and linear...

Take a very basic understanding of circuits and develop a strong understanding of the parts and function of a circuit. This activity is developed to be an independent exploration of circuits from the basics to series and parallel models....

A collection of 15 practice problems, most of them involving circuit schematics, is provided for your physics class on this handout. Learners are to compute the net charge, resistance, energy, or power dissipated for different...

Electricians draw four different circuits and answer questions about the resistance, voltage drop, and current at different points in each. Completing this worksheet will help make sure that your class is understanding what is happening...

For this applied mathematics worksheet, learners solve 4 various sets of problems that include scalar equations, existence of solutions, and inverse problems. They determine the number of solutions of a problem shown and justify their...

Look inside a resistor to see how it works. Increase the battery voltage to make more electrons flow through the resistor. Increase the resistance to block the flow of electrons. Watch the current and resistor temperature change. Java...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The differences between series and parallel circuits are highlighted. Provides an in-depth look at how to solve problems about circuits and resistors. Includes a...

Whether you are looking for an introduction to resistors, volt, and current, or just looking for a reference, this article provides great information for all ability levels. Great videos, diagrams, images, and links to more information...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn about parallel circuit design, and how to calculate equivalent resistance from resistors in a parallel circuit.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn about series circuit design, and the role of resistors in maintaining the integrity of a circuit.

This resistor color code activity allows you to change the resistance value with a slider and then determine the third digit, multiplier, and tolerance, providing the final resistance in ohms. It allows you to view how the passing...
