Additional Learning Tools and Resources
Watching a presentation is a passive activity. Getting information is important ... but its not the destination or end point. Now that you've watched the video, its time to do something with the information you've heard. It's time to act on it. The resources below provide an opportunity to do this. We encourage learners to solidify their learning through the use of one or more of the following resources.
Concept Builders, Electric Circuits Chapter, Resistance Ranking Tasks
This Concept Builder is focused on the variables affecting resistance. It's great practice and a great follow-up. It might even be great phun.
Minds On Physics, Electric Circuits Module, Mission EC4: Resistance, Voltage, and Current
This Minds On Physics might be a bit pre-mature as the content it covers matches this video and the next video in our Tutorial series. Nonetheless it is worth mentioning and worth (eventually) doing.
Calculator Pad, Electric Circuits Problem Set, Problem #4 and #5
Improve your problem-solving skill with our Calculator Pad. You'll find problems, answers, and audio-guided solutions. Problems #4 and #5 pertain to the use of the Resistance equation from Slide 6.
Physics Classroom Tutorial: Circuits Chapter, Lesson 3: Electrical Resistance
Lesson 3 in our Circuits Chapter of our Tutorial is all about Resistance. The following two pages are the basis of our Video Tutorial. Use them as a reference when needed.
