PP+ Ohm's Law vs Electromagnetic Forces

The Ohm’s Law lab uses a resistor, a power supply, a voltmeter, and an ammeter to investigate the relationships between the voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit. It is part of Polyhedron Physics Plus, a set of 24 iPad apps for use in the classroom. To see how they work, try the FREE PP+ Newton’s 2nd Law lab. For those who’d prefer to develop their own experiments, the PP Ohm’s Law Apparatus app features a similar apparatus without lab procedures and other supporting materials. In addition to a 3D simulation that produces realistic data, each lab includes introductory videos, background theory, experimental procedure, analysis and reporting tools, pre-lab quiz, post-lab questions, and teacher support materials. The experimental data produced by the simulations are realistic, including random and systematic errors. These features allow students to use standard data analysis and error analysis techniques to report on their own unique data, just as if the experiment had been performed using hands-on equipment. These labs can serve as replacements for hands-on labs, especially when equipment is not available, or as supplements to hands-on labs. They are also a suitable option for students in distance learning and home school situations. Formative and summative evaluations showed no significant difference in learning between students using the virtual labs and those using hands-on labs. Preliminary results suggest increased learning by students using the virtual labs as supplements to hands-on. Polyhedron Physics was developed by Polyhedron Learning Media, Inc. with partial funding provided under contract numbers ED-07-CO-0040 and ED-IES-11-C-0029 from the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

Electromagnetic Forces physics app has been designed for K12 students to describe the process of magnetic effect and magnetic force of current. This app helps students to learn about Fleming’s left-hand rule and describes cathode rays structure in an interactive way. In addition, the electromagnetic Forces app illustrates the uses of Cathode Ray Oscilloscope through 3D animations. Each section is explained in detail with diagrams, graphical representations and animations along with simple text explaining the concept. Features of Electromagnetic Forces App: Learn -This section describes the overall process of Electromagnet and Cathode Ray Oscilloscope with 3D animations. Electromagnet - An electromagnet experiment using a wire & Fleming’s left-hand rule to check magnetic effect and magnetic force of current with interactive 3D animations. Cathode rays - In this, cathode rays experimented through CRO (cathode ray oscilloscope) using electromagnetic forces process in an interactive way. 2) Practice - This section helps to practice the working process of electric motor and also observe the variations in sine wave graph with animated 3D experiments. 3) Quiz - Evaluate the knowledge gained from Electromagnetic Forces application through an interactive quiz with scoreboard. This educational application helps students to understand electromagnet and cathode rays in an easy and quick method through interactive animations and experiments. Download the Electromagnetic Forces app and other K12 education apps published by Ajax Media Tech Pvt Ltd to learn physics in an easy and interactive way. Unlike a static or video based education model, which is non-interactive, K12 simulator apps are fully interactive and developed based on adaptive learning.
