    Circuit Simulation
Click For Summary
The Java applet is an electronic circuit simulator that visually represents simple LRC circuits with color-coded voltage indicators. Users can interact with the circuit by clicking switches to turn them on or off and can view component descriptions by hovering over them. Modifications to components are made by right-clicking and selecting "Edit." The applet includes a "Circuits" menu with sample circuits and allows users to create their own. While the simulator is user-friendly and effective for basic demonstrations, it does have some bugs.

This java applet is an electronic circuit simulator. When the applet starts up you will see an animated schematic of a simple LRC circuit. The green color indicates positive voltage. The gray color indicates ground. A red color indicates negative voltage. The moving yellow dots indicate current.

To turn a switch on or off, just click on it. If you move the mouse over any component of the circuit, you will see a short description of that component and its current state in the lower right corner of the window. To modify a component, move the mouse over it, click the right mouse button (or control-click if you have a Mac) and select “Edit”.

The "Circuits" menu contains a lot of sample circuits for you to try. You can also create your own circuits; see the directions for more information.

This simulator has some bugs that I have discovered. Otherwise it is good for simple problem and demonstrations.

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
