Virtual Circuits is program ideal for introductory circuit analysis.
 

Latest Update: V 1.13
  • Includes an extensive list of predefined circuits
  • Create a series of circuits that can be saved in one file. (Ideal for showing how circuits can be reduced to one resistance)
Features include:
  • Easy to create parallel and series circuits.
  • Realistic voltmeter and ammeter
  • If the ammeter hooked up wrong, the fuse is "blown".
  • Circuits created can be easily saved, with instructions for its use.
  • 3 different bulbs can be used in the circuits.
  • Brightness of bulb can be determined by counting the number of "rays" leaving the bulb.
  • Resistors and switches can also be used in ths circuit.
  • Batteries in series and parallel can be used or a variable power supply
Ideal to
  • Create graphics for tests.
  • Compare data used from using real lab equipment.
  • Quickly answer "What if..." questions on changes to electric circuits.
  • Show the technique on how to properly use meters.
