Place elements on the grid and watch as electrons move and bulbs glow. This is a “sandbox” simulation where you can add and remove circuit elements however you like. Simulate parallel, series, or complex circuits with ease, and watch as the currents and voltage values instantly change.

Compare and contrast how the light bulb and voltmeter show characteristics of the induced current.

Predict how the induced current will change when the experimental conditions are varied.

Explain the cause of induction.
