In this interactive tutorial, students will look at circuits that contain both resistors and capacitors. RC circuits allow us to design a circuit where current varies with time. Students will look at how capacitors charge and discharge...

A capacitor is similar to a battery in that both store electrical energy. But a capacitor can't actually produce new electrons; it only stores them.

A site dedicated to help students prepare for the AP Physics B test. This specific site reviews conductors and capacitors including polarization and dielectrics. Site contains links to video lectures and practice problems.

In this interactive tutorial students will be introduced to capacitance and the electric fields inside a capacitor. Learn what factors affect capacitance. Also learn about dielectric and how it affects capacitance.

These devices, though quite humble, represented a tremendous breakthrough in the history of electricity; they were the first capacitors, and as such were able to store electric charge. (Java tutorial)

Although specifically designed for physics students at Caltech, anyone interested in learning more about electricity, magnetism or various other physical phenomena can benefit by exploring these interactive applets. A circuit tutorial...

In this interactive tutorial students will look at the energy stored in the magnetic field of an inductor. Self-inductance and mutual inductance will be distinguished and circuits with capacitors and inductors, or LC circuits will be...

This site contains a wealth of material on electronics. Various components and techniques are thoroughly described and clearly illustrated.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The differences between series and parallel circuits are highlighted. Provides an in-depth look at how to solve problems about circuits and resistors. Includes a...

Oscillators are a type of circuit found in many types of electronic equipment, including clocks, radios and computers. (Java tutorial)

Learners investigate electrostatics with conductors. Some topics explored in the activities are electric shielding, conductors, and charging by induction. The resource consists of video clips, lecture notes, online textbook chapters,...
