Question

To access the PhET website and explore siμlations related to electricity, magnets, and circuits, you should:

a) Visit the siμlations section
b) Click on chemistry siμlations
c) Choose circuit construction kit: DC
d) All of the above

Answer 1

To explore electricity and circuit-related simulations on PhET, select the 'Circuit Construction Kit: DC only' for simple DC circuits, or the 'Circuit Construction Kit: AC+DC, Virtual Lab' for more complex circuits involving AC and DC.

Step-by-step explanation:

To access the PhET website and explore simulations related to electricity, magnets, and circuits, you should choose the circuit construction kit that corresponds to the type of circuit you want to explore. For electric circuits without alternating current (AC), you would select 'Circuit Construction Kit: DC only'. This particular simulation allows you to build circuits with resistors, light bulbs, batteries, and switches, and take measurements using an ammeter and voltmeter. It offers a schematic diagram view and a life-like view of the circuit you build. If you're interested in experimenting with both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC), the 'Circuit Construction Kit: AC+DC, Virtual Lab' includes additional components like capacitors and inductors for more complex circuit explorations.
