DC generator action
A diagram showing a dc generator working, on which the frequency of ration is adjustable. The results are seen on an analogue meter, and an oscilloscope screen. Useful description of the commutator.
Physics Tutorials Menu
A tutorials page aimed at 15+ students. Covering SHM, free body diagrams, dc circuits and a few other areas. There are also some simulations.
Visible Current
A demonstration of electric currents in a DC circuit
Circuit Builder
Circuit Builder simulates AC and DC circuits and can be used in interactive mode or it can be scripted using JavaScript. In order for scripting to work, Circuit Builder requires a Java 1.1 capable ...
Circuits
Circuits contains 5 Physlets designed to solve the most common AC and DC circuit problems. In addition to the usual RC and LRC simulations, there is an applet to plot non-linear I vs V response and ...
The electronic version of PHY1054, our second semester introductory physics course without calculus.
This represents a course delivering Electrostatics, Magnetism, DC Circuits, Light and some problems. Many pages. This could be a useful resource to the right person. Probably an adult wanting to ...
Generator Animation
An interactive animated applet which shows how AC and DC can be generated from a moving coil in a magnetic field
DC CIRCUITS
Written resource on DC circuits. Can't see any benefit in this compared to a book - no animations or analogies, just straight theory
Power Factor
For a DC circuit the power is P=VI, and this relationship also holds for the instantaneous power in an AC circuit. However, the average power in an AC circuit expressed in terms of the rms voltage ...
Impedance
While Ohm's Law applies directly to resistors in DC or in AC circuits, the form of the current-voltage relationship in AC circuits in general is modified where I and V are the rms or "effective" ...
