Circuit Construction Kit: DC - Ohm's Law | Kirchoff's Law | Series Circuit - PhET Interactive Simulations
Experiment with an electronics kit! Build circuits with batteries, resistors, ideal and non-Ohmic light bulbs, fuses, and switches. Determine if everyday objects are conductors or insulators, and take measurements with an ammeter and voltmeter. View the circuit as a schematic diagram, or switch to a lifelike view.
