Using Blueprints to Troubleshoot a Defective Water Pump
By Excelsior College
In this simulation activity, an electrician troubleshoots a defective water pump that will not start. To find the problem, the learner selects the appropriate blueprints that must be referred to while performing the troubleshooting steps. Then safety protocols will be followed, such as making lockout-tag out installations and donning PPE items before taking measurements with a multimeter to locate the faulty component.

Industrial Control Classifications
By Terry Bartelt
In this animated object, learners examine automated manufacturing systems classified as motion control, batch process control, and continuous process control.
Inductive Reactance Practice Problems
By Patrick Hoppe
Students solve problems on the determination of total inductive reactance of series-parallel inductors.
Capacitive Reactance Practice Problems
Students solve problems on the determination of total capacitive reactance of series-parallel capacitors.
RC Time Constant
By Tim Tewalt, Patrick Hoppe
In this animated object, learners observe the voltage on a capacitor at various time constants when it either charges or discharges. Students then answer questions in the categories of Identify, Compare, and Compute.
Series Inductance
In this learning activity you'll calculate the total inductance of a series circuit.
Inductors in Parallel
Learners examine the process for determining the total inductance of a parallel circuit. They then complete practice problems.
Energizing Time Constants of an RL Circuit
In this animated object, students view an explanation of how current, voltage, and the magnetic field strength of a series RL circuit change during five time constants. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Series Capacitance
Students view the steps for determining the total capacitance for a series circuit. They then work practice problems.

Sizing an Automatic Car Wash Interceptor
By Randy Lorge
Learners follow steps for sizing a car wash interceptor according to the Wisconsin Administrative Plumbing Code. A quiz completes the activity. (Hover your mouse in lower right corner to see the next button)
Rotating Vector Representation of the Sine Function
The learner will be able to represent steady-state AC sinusoidal signals using phasors, which will lead to a simplified technique of analyzing AC circuits in a very similar way that we analyze DC circuits.
Electrical Generator Basics
In this animated activity, learners examine how a voltage is induced into a conductor when the conductor cuts across magnetic flux lines. They also view the four factors that determine how much voltage is generated. A brief quiz completes the learning object.
Electromagnets
Learners examine how an electromagnet is formed. Animated illustrations show current running through a coil wrapped around an iron core.
