Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to everyone, and features many accessibility features.

Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary, and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs.

Within the main content, we leverage headers to provide in page or in tool navigation.

Although we are still rebuilding our content to leverage these tools, our images should have both short and verbose descriptions, the later describing in great detail the image for those who cannot see. Any formulas found within the images are often in the image figure below the image.

Equations and formulas are rendered using MathJax, which has both verbal, braille (including nemath braille), and keyboard navigation within them. Learn how to configure and leverage this for various screen readers on our Equation Navigation Page.

While not every area of Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have questions or need additional help, please use this link to contact us .

Current Electricity

Electric Circuits Gallery

I Need A Jump Start. 52.5 of 2010 Theme:Electricity. explored on 1st Oct 2010

18 photos

The Electric Circuits Gallery features photos of batteries, resistors, circuit boards, light bulb filaments, electrical pylons, complex circuits, cartoons, and much more. The photos illustrate many of the concepts associated with electric circuits. This gallery coordinates with all lessons of the Current Electricity chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Lesson 1: Electric Potential Difference

Lesson 1 develops the concept of electric potential difference between two locations and applies the concept to simple circuits. Items in the group's pool include photos of voltmeters, dry cells, 9-volt batteries, diagrams of equipotential lines, diagrams of Galvani's experiments with frog legs, and much more. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 1 of the Current Electricity chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Lesson 2: Electric Current

Lesson 2 discusses the requirements for an electric circuit, the conceptual and mathematical meaning of current, common misconceptions regarding circuits and electric power. Items in the group's pool include photos of light bulb filaments, electrical meters, cartoons, and simple circuits composed of cells, light bulbs and wires. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 2 of the Current Electricity chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
