Check out this virtual circuit simulator for building dc circuits. Wires, batteries, resistors, light bulbs, and switches are available, along with common "real world" objects. You can modify parameters such as resistance and voltage as desired, and use meters are available for measuring voltages and currents. This site is part of a large collection of simulations freely available from the Physics Education Technology (PhET) group at the University of Colorado.

PhET Simulation: Circuit Construction Kit (AC+DC)
A newer version of this circuit simulator allowing for simulating AC Circuits. relation by Taha Mzoughi
Covers the Same Topic As
Open and Short Case - An Investigation of Faulty Circuits
This item is a one-day high school lab investigation of factors causing short circuits in both series and parallel circuits. Detailed lab instructions are accompanied by diagrams and prediction charts to gauge preconceived notions against the observed outcomes. The lab materials are readily accessible and inexpensive to obtain. relation by Bruce MasonKnow of another related resource? Login to relate this resource to it. Have experience with this material?
