Circuit Construction Kit: AC - Ohm's Law | Kirchoff's Law | AC Circuits - PhET Interactive Simulations
Experiment with an electronics kit! Build circuits with batteries, resistors, ideal and non-Ohmic light bulbs, fuses, and switches. Build circuits with AC voltage sources, batteries, resistors, capacitors, inductors, fuses, and switches. Take measurements with a lifelike ammeter and voltmeter and graph the current and voltage as a function of time. View the circuit as a schematic diagram or switch to a lifelike view.
