Subject: YP DC Circuits 2.0 (simulation of an electric circuit)
YP DC Circuits 2.0 allows the user to build a virtual electric circuit
including batteries, resistors and switches, and measure currents and
voltages with an ammeter and a voltmeter. The circuit can be copied,
printed or saved on disk.
New in this version 2.0:
- You can now save each circuit in a document which can be open and edited
with YP DC Circuits.
- A third circuit model (3 loops, 6 branches) has been added.
- The value measured by an ammeter is written in the circuit, beside each
ammeter.
- The value measured by the voltmeter is written in the circuit, beside the
voltmeter.
- The polarity of the voltmeter tool is automatically changed when you just
created one terminal of the voltmeter, and the other terminal doesn't exist
yet.
System Requirements: YP DC Circuits runs on any Macintosh computer with
MAC OS 7, 8 or 9. It needs about 400 Kb on your hard disk and 1 Mb of RAM.
Price: $20 US
Keywords: Physics teaching, sciences, electricity, electromagnetism,
