AC through R, L and C: phasors
An AC source across a resistor, an inductor or a capacitor: see v(t), i(t), phase relations (in phase, i lags by 90°, i leads by 90°), reactances X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC and the phasor diagram.

What you do in the lab
Change the controls and watch the physics behave in real time in 3D. Live readouts and graphs show the numbers behind it, and the Learn tab has the theory, procedure, observations and viva questions. Works on a phone or a laptop, in English and Hindi.
