Circuits | Physics

Activity: 

Go on to the PHET website and click on LAB: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc/latest/circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.html

I want you to construct a few different circuits, try to make them and then take a screenshot of them and post the pic here.


  1. A circuit containing a battery, a light bulb, connected by wires:





  1. Now add a switch into the circuit you just made, what happens when the switch is open or closed?





  1. Now click on the battery and increase the voltage it supplies to the circuit. What happened?






  1. Underneath the switch there is an arrow, scroll through the options to the end and try putting some random things into the circuit like a coin or dog. What happens to light bulbs?
