written by Michael Davidson
This is a collection of 40+ interactive java tutorials developed to help students understand concepts in electricity and magnetism, and connect the physics to real-world applications. Designed by well-respected authors, the topics range from electric and magnetic fields to primers on capacitance, resistance, Ohm's Law, and electromagnetic induction.  Included are simulations on how things work, such as vacuum tube diodes, cathode rays,  capacitors, AC/DC generators, hard drives, pulsed magnets, and speakers.
