Have a go imageNow experiment by changing the battery voltage and the resistances of the two resistors.

Changing the voltage:

Simply use the voltage slider.

Changing the resistors:

Firstly, click on one of the resistors to select it.
Now change the selected resistor using the three selection boxes at the bottom of the screen. The coloured bands on the selected resistor should change to match the new selection.

Reading the current:

Moving the cursor around the circuit allows you to read the current at a specific point.
