The Ringing Circuit

Interactions
  • Click the knife switch to throw it: left charges the capacitor from the cells, right lets it ring through the coil
  • Drag the iron core in or out of the coil: the inductance changes and the oscillation slows or quickens
  • Drag the slider along the resistance wire: more wire, more damping, from long ringing to a slow over-damped creep
  • Click a capacitor plate: the plates move closer or apart and the capacitance changes
