Main concepts and program features

The product is intended for using by scholars, students and other people who'd like to deepen their knowledge in electricity. The program naturally supplements a standard way of education that includes theoretical and practical skills development. The software is a kind of virtual constructor that enables to imitate the way of electrical circuits assembling, features analyzing and electrical quantities measuring. Working with the program, the user acts as he does in real-world life.

The given program allows the user to:

• study dependence of conductor resistance on specific resistance of its material, length and cross-section;
• study the laws of direct current - "The Ohm’s law for a part of and complete circuit";
• study the laws of consistent and parallel conductor splice, capacitors and reels;
• study the principles of using fuses in electrical circuits;
• study the laws of thermal energy radiation in electrical heaters and luminaries, principles of matching the current’s sources with load;
• familiarize with principles of current and voltage measuring in electrical circuits using measuring equipment (multimeter and dual-channel oscilloscope), watch alternating current shape at two separated details simultaneously, lagging between current and voltage in alternating-current circuits;
• study the reactive resistance phenomenon in alternating-current circuits, learn their dependence on AC generator frequency and detail parameters;
• study power release in alternating-current circuits;
• analyze resonance condition in circuits with consistent and parallel oscillating circuit;
• determine indefinite detail features;
• analyze principles of electrical and wave filters construction;
• investigate other electrical phenomenon.

An essential part of the program workspace is a wiring card where number of details are to be soldered. The process of details "soldering" consists of a simple action: dragging a detail from boxes panel to the card and dropping above the considerable position.

There is a panel of boxes on the right of the desktop. Details emulated by the program are listed below:

• resistor;
• fuse;
• capacitor;
• reel;
• connecting wire;
• switcher;
• battery or constant-current source;
• sine-like alternating-current generator;
• lamp;
• heater;
• real wire;
• black box (indefinite detail);
• rheostat;
• alternating capacitor;

User can use measuring equipment such as dual-scan oscilloscope and digital multimeter. He can save circuits to files and restore circuits from files at any time.

Authors hope that "Beginnings of ELECTRONICS" will promote interest and creative abilities, deepen knowledge in the sphere of physics.
