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

The Electric Power Equations Video Tutorial shows the derivation of three equations for electric power. The use of the equations is explained. Numerous examples, illustrations, and animations assist in the explanations.
The video lesson answers the following questions:
What are the mathematical equations for the power in electric circuits?
Calculator Pad, Electric Circuits Problem Set, Problems #10 - #19
When you're trying to learn how to use an equation to solve problems, don't ignore a self-paced session at our Calculator Pad. You will find a set of problems, answers, and an audio-guided solution.
Teacher Toolkits: Circuit Concepts
Try a Teacher Toolkit ... you might be very glad that you did. Each toolkit includes annotated links to vetted resources from across the web that we feel reliably support the specific topic. Give this one on circuit concepts a try.
Minds On Physics, Mission EC6: P, V, I, R, and Cost Calculations
You can always be confident that Minds On Physics will give a student a great workout with close reading, critical thinking and conceptual reasoning. Use it with a Task Tracker subscription and you will get the full benefit of being able to track your students' progress.
Concept Builders, Case Studies: Electric Power
This Concept Builder is a perfect accompaniment to the video. Given the relative resistance, electrical potential difference, and/or current of two circuits, students must compare their relative power. The exercise demands great thinking and reasoning and understanding. Question-specific help is available by a click on the Help Me! button.
Calculator Pad, Electric Circuits Problem Set, Problems #10 - #19
When yyour class is trying to learn how to use an equation to solve problems, don't ignore the power of our Calculator Pad section. There is a set of problems, answers, and an audio-guided solution.
