Virtual Circuit Builder to Download.
Hi Physics lovers over the next few weeks and after Christmas we will be studying electric circuits.
Those brilliant people from PhET have a brilliant virtual circuit builder.
You can download it here and run it on your pc or laptop. You don`t need to be online to use it after it is downloaded.
I will be adding worksheets to build circuits.
As a starter activity build the following circuit.
3 lamps: Change their resistances as shown: 6 ohms, 2 ohms and 1 ohm by right clicking the lamps
2 cells each having a value of 9V
Use non-contact ammeter
also use a voltmeter.
Measure the pd across the cell = 18 volts.
Now measure the pd across each lamp to see if they add up to the cell`s pd.
