Learners view the waveforms and voltages of an Edison Three-Wire System and read a description of the polarities across the secondary of the center-tap transformer. This transformer supplies power to residential homes.

Learners study the operation of capacitive probe sensors used to measure levels in a tank.

Learners study the fundamental operation of a triac, particularly how it is turned on and off. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this interactive object, learners determine the Vp, Vp-p, Vrms, Vavg, and the frequency of a sine wave that is displayed on an oscilloscope screen.

In this animated lesson, learners examine sine waves and alternating current. A brief quiz completes the object.

In this animated object, learners examine cycles, frequency, Hertz, wavelengths, and periods. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners work problems to make conversions between RMS, average, peak, and peak-to-peak AC voltages.

In this animated object, learners examine the formulas used to convert peak, RMS, average, and peak-to-peak AC voltages. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this interactive and animated object, learners examine the flow of electron current into and out of hot and neutral sockets during each alternation of an AC waveform. A brief quiz completes the activity.
