Electricity: A 3-D Animated Demonstration

Mastery of electrical concepts and laws is necessary to any understanding of physics and its applications. The programs in this series cover the essentials of electricity and make principles of electricity easier to understand and discuss.

e-= 1.60 x 10-19C elementary charge. Caption: is used to describe this single, smallest possible charge.

Sinuous wave falling above and below a center line. Arrow indicating the distance between the center line and the peak of the wave. Caption: The peak voltage is approximately 170 volts

Illustration of a measurement device attached to leads which surround a central core that is emitting a moving magnetic field. Caption: As long as the magnetic field moves

Illustration of an arm extended and energy cycling through the forearm. Energy continues out through the tips of the fingers. A wire intersects the hand, and an arrow indicates movement to the right. Caption: exerted on the conducting wire.

Central sphere with arrows with equidistance arrows moving away from the center. Caption: and the distance between arrows

Req=R1+R2+R3+…+Rn Caption: is this sum of the individual resistances
