This is a student controlled 3d experiment to confirm the inverse square law for radiation. All forms of radiation follow the inverse square law. That is the intensity of radiation declines as to the square of the distance from the source. In this experiment we measure the background radiation and the count rates of gamma particles hitting a detector at a range of distances. Plotting the results will verify the inverse square law. The user can move a lead block in front of the gamma source to measure the background radiation count, and then move the detector to a range of distances from the detector and take readings of the count for a fixed period of time. The user can position him/herself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings from the instrumentation. Try a practical from our Instructions on performing the experiment are included.

This is a teacher or student controlled 3d experiment that allows you to plot the IV characteristics of a lightbulb. That is, you can plot how the current changes when you change the voltage (The ‘I’ is for current, and the V is for voltage). This depends on the resistance of the bulb which changes depending on the voltage. Effectively the bulb gets hotter and hotter as the voltage increases until it is eventually white hot. As the temperature of the metal filament gets hotter its resistance changes. The user can control the power supply and the variable resistor.

This is a student or teacher controlled 3d simulation of an experiment to measure the resistivity of constantan. Every material that obeys Ohms law (not all materials do) has a characteristic resistivity. The resistivity is a constant for a particular substance that allows you to calculate what the resistance is in Ohms for a wire of a particular length with a particular cross-sectional area. This experiment allows you to plot the resistance against the length of wire that the current is flowing through. Given that you can find the cross-sectional area by measuring the diameter with a micrometer you can then calculate the resistivity. The user has control over the position of the crocodile clip on the constantan wire, the voltage from the power supply unit, and the micrometer screw gauge barrel.

Give your students unfettered access to a multitude of Physics practicals with no laboratory required. No breakages, no setup time, always ready to go. This is a student or teacher controlled 3d experiment that allows you to measure the specific heat of brass. The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat it can hold per unit mass. In this experiment we place a brass weight in boiling water. When the weight is in the boiling water it is gaining heat energy. After about four or five minutes it will be heated evenly to the temperature of the water. The brass weight can then be moved to the water in the calorimeter. It will then heat the water and the calorimeter. Knowing the specific heat of the water and calorimeter and the maximum temperature attained by them allows you to calculate the heat gained by them. This amount of heat gained must be the same as the amount of heat lost by the brass. This enables the specific heat of brass to be calculated. The user can move the weight from the heated water to the calorimter, he/she can control the shaker. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus.

This is a student or teacher controlled realistic 3d simulation of an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a dry cell. This experiment allows you to measure the internal resistance of a single dry cell. The idea of a battery having a resistance can seem counter intuitive. Surely the battery is the opposite of a resistor it is creating a current, not preventing one? However, this is not correct. The chemical processes in a battery creates the movement of electrons, but these still have to overcome whatever the resistance, no matter how small, of the battery itself. If it helps think of the battery as something that incorporates a resistor, then you can treat this resistor exactly as you would any other resistor in the circuit. The user needs to complete the circuit by clicking on pairs of connectors to connect them. The user has control of the position of the rheostat slider and the power to the circuit. The user can position him.herself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings from the volt and amp meters.

Andrew McPhee Wellington School I thought that the controls were pretty easy to get used to and the detail in the apparatus was excellent being able to zoom in and see the set up of the multi-meter and read scales, being careful of parallax. This type of software is most useful in experiments which can’t be done in the lab like the gravity on the moon or where the equipment is too expensive or difficult to use like the Millikan Oil drop.

Give your students unfettered access to a multitude of Physics practicals with no laboratory required. No breakages, no setup time, always ready to go. This is a teacher or student controlled, realistic 3d experiment that demonstrates that different mediums bend light by different amounts and allows us to confirm Snell’s law of refraction. The user can control the type of transparent material used, its position and orientation. The user can also control a protractor in a similar way in order to make measurements of the angle of the material used. You can try one of the practicals from our website. The package is perfect for demonstrating this experiment in front of the class but can also be used by students in a variety of ways: • Directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. • As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. • For home-learning where there is no access to a laboratory. • To make up for an experiment missed due to sickness. • As a personal experience of an experiment normally only performed by the teacher in front of the class. Download contains a PowerPoint giving full instructions including a video, background on the Physics and instructions on running the experiment, as well as a link to an on-line version (no need to install unless you want to). The Virtual Physics Laboratory of which this simulation is a part, has the Association for Science Education’s Green Tick of Approval. More information can be found on our website I’ve found your software very useful when a concept comes up with pupils and I have to demonstrate something really quickly without having the time to set up a formal experiment for them.

This is a student or teacher controlled experiment that allows the equivalence of heat and mechanical energy to be determined. We generate the heat by the friction between a cord and a brass cylinder which is rotated under the user’s control. The user controls the rotation whilst monitoring the temperature of the brass cylinder. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the simulations from our website. Instructions are viewable within the simulation. The simulation is perfect for demonstrating this experiment in front of the class but can also be used by students in a variety of ways: • Directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. • As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. • For home-learning where there is no access to a laboratory. • To make up for an experiment missed due to sickness. • As a personal experience of an experiment normally only performed by the teacher in front of the class.

This is a student or teacher controlled 3d experiment that allows the muzzle velocity of a shell to be calculated using a ballistic balance. An AK47 fires a shell into a suspended block of wood imparting its kinetic energy into the potential energy of the block and shell combined at its highest position of its swing. Equating these two energies, and taking consideration of the equivalence of the momentums of the shell, and the shell and block together gives the required result. The user controls the firing of the rifle and measures the extent of the swing of the ballistic balance. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the practibals from our website. Instructions are viewable within the simulation.

This is a teacher or student controlled 3d experiment that measures the speed of waves in water. It uses an electromechanical plunger connected to a signal generator to create waves of a known frequency in the water. A strobe light is then used to effectively make the waves appear stationary where their wavelength can be easily measured. The user can control the frequency of the signal generator and the frequency of the strobe light. The user can position themself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings of the voltage and current. You can try one of the practicals from our website. Instructions are included.
