Or use http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-c/latest/circuit-construction-kit-ac_en.html You will see a blank canvas Circuit Construction Kit (AC+DC) (3.20) Click the schematic button on the right hand side. This simulation will let you construct circuits of different kinds (become familiar with this simulation since you will use it again several times). The circuit elements are displayed in bar on the right hand side and can be dragged into the blue canvas. Once you have a circuit element in the canvas it can be modified by right clicking on the object. This will let you change the value of voltage of the batteries or resistance of the resistors. Click the voltmeter button. This will give you a meter to measure the voltage across elements in your circuit. To do this move the two probes (1 red 1 black) to touch each side of the wire connecting to a circuit element, the voltmeter will display the voltage across that object. An example of this is shown in the circuit diagram below with a measurement being conducted of the voltage across R 2. Construct the following circuit in the simulation.
