Preparation: DC Circuits/Basic Facts/Simulate It/Demo.

The Demo listed above describes all the features of the DC Circuit Lab simulation on Page 2 where you will be able to experiment freely with the simulation.

You can

• build your own circuit consisting of batteries, resistors, light bulbs, and switches, and you can connect ammeters and voltmeters,
• set parameters like battery emf's, internal resistances of batteries and meters, resistances of resistors, voltage and power ratings of light bulbs, etc.,
• make the program display the current and potential at any point in the circuit and display the potential difference across any circuit element.

You can develop and check your understanding of DC Circuits by building a circuit, predicting what the currents and potentials at different points of the circuit will be, and then comparing your predictions with the answers provided by the program.

Have fun.
