Simulation of LDR – light dependent resistor and led in a circuit

Simple Electric Circuit Simulation showing the work of a LDR -Light dependent resistor What it shows: A 9V circuit with an LDR (light dependent resistor) and LED. In darkness the LDR resistance is 1 MΩ — almost no current flows and the LED stays off. Slide the light up and resistance plummets to 500 Ω, […]

Simulation of electric circuit and Ohm’s law- resistor, voltmeter, ammeter

Simple Electric Circuit Simulation showing the work of a resistor, voltmeter, ammeter in a circuit What it shows: A simple series circuit — battery, resistor, ammeter, and voltmeter connected by copper cables. Electrons (green dots) flow around the loop. Crank up voltage or drop resistance and they speed up instantly. The resistor glows red as

Simulation of electric circuit – thermistor at work

Simple Electric Circuit Simulation showing the work of a thermistor in a circuit A thermistor (short for thermal resistor) is a type of resistor whose electrical resistance changes significantly with temperature. It is one of the most common and sensitive temperature sensors used in electronics. Basic Working Principle Thermistors are made from semiconductor materials (usually
