Electric Circuits simulation (Phet)

The aim of this lesson is to the Electric Circuit simulation (by Phet) to investigate the properties of circuits and to discover some circuit 'rules' that are always true. You are going to take measurements of current and potential difference in series and parallel circuits.

Series circuits:

A series circuit is one in which all the components come one after the other in a single loop.

We say that they are 'in series' with each other.
