Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 My 12 year old daughter is using this for her school work- https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc/latest/circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.html I thought it could be useful for those on here wanting to understand the 'dark art' too. Here's a quick example I threw together to give an idea of what can be done: One aspect that isn't realistic, I've just wound up the volts (Who wouldn't 😉 ) The bulbs didn't fail!
