This App helps in interactively exploring Static and Current Electricity (including Magnetic effects of Electric current) using real time simulations. The simulations are highly touch enabled and are designed game-like so that people would love to play around with the simulations and at the same time can gain a deeper understanding of Physics concepts. The simulations in this App are designed very carefully to simulate the real world scenarios and applications(The detailed coverage of simulations in this App is given below.). For ex, you can interactively learn the functioning of a cycle dynamo and how a simple rotation of cycle pedal can translate to a bulb glowing.You can interact with the batteries, resistors, load them on to circuit, vary the voltages, resistance and easily figure out the relationship between Voltage, Current and Resistance yourself using the circuit and the graph plot (which is nothing but the Ohm's Law).Unlike most of the science Apps that are present out there, our goal is to simplify the understanding of the concepts and make people visualise using simple Do-and-Learn activities that are fun to play around with. ---------Note - Please ensure you are connected to a WiFi or 3G connection for the App to work as desired.---------The list of simulations - A. Static Electricity1. Coloumb force simulation - Touch and position the charges, create positive/negative charges to understand electric charge, units and interaction between charges.2. Perform Pith Ball experiment completely virtually - This mimics the real world experiment and you can vary mass, charge, length and see the effect of Electrical & Mechanical forces in action!3. Electric field lines - You can touch the charges & vary the type of charge to see how the electric field lines vary.B. Current Electricity1. Conductors & Insulators - Understand different types of materials from current conductivity point of view and perform simple experiment using each material type.2. Single Switch simulation - Touch the switch to toggle this between ON and OFF state, choose the current between DC or AC and see how the current flows in the wire in each case, making the bulb glow! 3. Two-Way Switch - Ever wondered the operation mechanism of a 2 way switch that we commonly use at home? Perform this interactive touch experiment, toggle the switches to figure out how this mechanism works!4. Bulbs in series and Parallel connection simulation - Why are the electrical appliances at home connected in Parallel and not in series? Understand all this interactively by performing the experiment yourself!5. Ohm's Law - You don't need to by heart the formula if you perform this touch experiment!c. Magnetic effects of Electric Current1. Electromanget - Perform this touch based experiment to figure out how moving electrons result in Magnetic fields?2. Charge in Magnetic field - Touch & Steer a charge through the Magnetic fields so that it doesn't go off the screen! Can you do it? Challenge yourself and while playing this, you will learn how external magnetic fields influence moving electron!3. Working principle of Generator - Create a simple generator and make the bulb glow! 4. Application in Cycle Dynamo - Rotate the pedal to see what makes the bulb glow...Does it matter if you rotate the pedal faster or slower? Find out by performing this real time activity! For Enthusiasts / Parents - Parents can use this app effectively to make your child practice and learn Science skills from these highly interactive & touch enabled game-like simulations that children would love to play with. For Students - Students can perform the activities on the simulations For Teachers - This app can be used as a classroom tool to supplement teaching that enhances productivity. This app boosts your classroom productivity & provides a fun filled lab experience in your classroom
