Build and test circuits:
1. What happens if bulbs are connected in series? In parallel?
2. How does an ammeter work?
DC Circuit Builder is an open simulation that is flexible enough to run a variety of basic laboratory experiments. The labs provided below can be completed with or without additional equipment (light bulbs, batteries, wires, multimeters).
