Abstract of INFO-MAC archived encoded Mac binary file 'sci/yp-dc-circuits-20.hqx' Uploaded 10/07/2001 270091 bytes From: Yves Pelletier 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, electric circuit, direct current, battery, resistor, switch, electromotive force, current, voltmeter, ammeter, Ohm's law, Kirchoff's law, series circuit, parallel circuit, simulation, voltage.
