Circuit Construction Kit Description

Free electronics simulation for your Mac Circuit Construction Kit is a free simulation that provides you with an electronics kit in your computer! Build circuits with resistors, light bulbs, batteries, and switches. Take measurements with the realistic ammeter and voltmeter. View the circuit as a schematic diagram, or switch to a life-like view. Here are some key features of "Circuit Construction Kit": · Discuss basic electricity relationships. · Build circuits from schematic drawings. · Use an ammeter and voltmeter to take readings in circuits. · Provide reasoning to explain the measurements and relationships in circuits. · Discuss basic electricity relationships in series and parallel circuits. · Provide reasoning to explain the measurements in circuits. · Determine the resistance of common objects in the "Grab Bag." Requirements: · Java 1.5 or later What's New in This Release: · Fixed a bug that made the circuit run very quickly while dragging voltage or resistance sliders, see #2040 · Improved layout in control panel to remove scroll bars in AC version. · Fixed stopwatch to correspond to sim time (was off by 100x or so), see #359 · Fixed: advanced wire resistivity slider starts at incorrect slider position, resolves #1842 · Made it so the switch graphic is shown as closed when loading a closed switch, resolves #384 · Fixed time scale for e-e repulsion to match scale as in 3.17.00, resolves #1828 · Added a workaround to help improve behavior for situations such as a battery connected directly to a capacitor, see #1813 · Made it possible to change the background color using the menu options · Make default frame size 1024x768 · Rewrote voltage calculation to use node voltages · Fixed a bug that prevented components (e.g. batteries) from being updated while machine locale and selected locale differ in decimal character, see #1700
