Downloading and using the PHET construction kit

The DC circuits construction kit is hosted by the University of Colorado in the city of Boulder on the eastern edge of the Rockies.  See http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-dc 

Watch this short video to see how to download the Java app.

The next objective is to find out how Potential Divider circuits work.

Watch the video linked below to see how to use the circuit construction kit to make series circuits.  When you have two components in series the potential difference is divided between the two components.  This type of circuit is called a Potential Divider. Series circuits are the basis of many sensor circuits - we'll try making some sensor circuits in a future lesson.
