Bulb Brightness
Predict which bulbs glow brighter in series and parallel circuits.
Interactive exercises for physics lessons.
Predict which bulbs glow brighter in series and parallel circuits.
Find equivalent resistances, currents and voltages step by step.
Read R, L and C off the impedance curve of RL, RC and RLC circuits.
Right after a switch flips in a circuit with coils: the inductor current cannot jump.
Lever arms and torques: levers and tools, beams on supports, ladders, tipping over, and centres of mass.
Point charges: Coulomb’s law, factors, and net forces as vectors, from charges in a line to rankings and points of zero force.
Falls, throws, pendulums and springs: from energy in each state to speeds and heights, with numbers or formulas.
Gravity, inertia, net force and interaction: spot the misconceptions behind tempting answers.
Boxes, ropes, pulleys and slopes: find forces and accelerations with Newton’s second law.
Match flux graphs with the voltages they induce: the slope counts, not the value.
Speed and direction, value tables, stroboscope pictures, slopes and areas: from position to velocity and back.
Harmonic or not: equations of motion, their periods and graphs, and the speed and acceleration of an oscillating body.
