I am thinking of adding some Multisim examples and Multisim Videos to the site for AC. Multisim.com is an interactive web-based site that allows you to build circuits and gives you an extensive range of instruments to monitor your circuit. Multisim is FREE! simply log onto their site and have a look at Multisim.com. If you like this idea please send me an email at kenneth.meyer55@gmail.com.
AC Lesson #0 AC Laboratory Introduction
This is an introduction to the typical measuring instruments you may encounter in an AC Lab. Take particular note of the operation of a digital Oscilloscope.
This video is a reminder of how components are connected in series. In this particular case with AC components.
This video is a reminder of how components are connected in parallel. In this particular case with AC components.
Resources and how these lessons are formatted.
Each of the lessons follows this format;
Watch theory Videos. Between 2-6 Videos per lesson. Follow in the textbook.
Theory Exercises. First attempt the exercises in the workbook, then watch the video for worked answers.
Watch the demonstrated Video practicals.
Use all the above to better engage your Tech lessons.
