🗑
show resistance  
🗑
The units for resistance.   show
🗑
show R  
🗑
A circuit that branches off along different paths with different resistors before coming back together again.   show
🗑
A circuit that is made from multiple resistors in a row (one after another) without branching paths.   show
🗑
show Ohm's law  
🗑
show 1 / Rᴛ = 1 / R₁ + 1 / R₂ + ...  
🗑
show Rᴛ = R₁ + R₂ + ...  
🗑
The height of a wave from the middle line to the crest OR from the middle line to the trough.   show
🗑
The distance from one crest to the next crest OR from one trough to the next trough.   show
🗑
The number of waves that pass per second.   show
🗑
show reflection  
🗑
show refraction  
🗑
The wave phenomena whereby waves spread out and form interference patterns when they pass through a slit.   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
