*** iOS 6 issues FIXED. The critical bug faced on iOS6, namely incomplete circuit generation due to missing devices is now fixed. Existing app users on iOS6, please update to this version immediately to ensure a working app.***This Exploriments app provides an interactive environment to explore the concepts of current and charge, understand division of current in parallel circuits, understand current measurement using ammeter, gain familiarity with several types of circuits, and practice your skills at taking measurements. Activity-based quizzes help you to reinforce concepts and build confidence. Are you in for some livewire action? Dont be shocked!! Try other apps from our Exploriments Electricity series, which makes it very safe to tinker with electricity. The interface puts learning at your fingertips by letting you touch, swipe, flick and move electrical components in and out of circuits, gaining important insights in the process. Benefit from helpful analogies and learn by doing activities with wires, switches, ammeters and more. The Exploriments Series of interactive simulation-based tools makes conceptual learning in science an engaging and insightful experience.
