Problem of practice
“Learners need a safe, low-cost way to experiment with electrical circuits without physical components or the risk of shock.”
Learning goal
Learners will be able to build simple DC circuits and explain how their layout affects the way electricity flows.
What it does
A PhET simulation where learners build direct-current circuits on screen from virtual parts, then watch how the circuit responds. It lets people try ideas and see results without real equipment or risk.
- Build circuits on screen from virtual parts
- Try changes and see how the circuit responds
- Safe practice with no physical equipment
- Available in many languages
