Bright Sparks assumes no prior knowledge and comes with built-in courseware to help you learn the key principles behind electronics. You can then go on and design your own circuits using the wide choice of components included in the software.
- Innovative Animation
Bright Spark uses advanced computer-modelling techniques to showwhat happens inside components and connecting wires when electrons flow around a circuit. This means you can see voltage, current and charge inaction for the first time, making these notoriously difficult concepts easier to grasp.
- Realistic Simulation
Bright Spark has over 40 superbly animated components to investigate aswell as a comprehensive suite of test instruments.There are no limits to what you can build and you don’t need to worry about loose connections or faulty components. Though beware – if the maximum ratings for any components are exceeded, they’ll explode!
- Designing your own circuits
It’s quick and easyto design circuits in Bright Spark. Just grab the components you need, wire them together and you’re ready to begin simulation. Because it is so straight-forward, students can experiment and explore freely at their own pace without supervision.
- Courseware
An important element of Bright Spark is its courseware, which has been designed to help you gain an appreciation of the underlying science of electronics. The courseware contains a high level of animation and interactivity and encourages understanding through practical investigation. A comprehensive range of topics is covered, including electric charge, current, voltage, conductance, resistance, capacitance, Ohm’s law, Kirchoff’s laws,series circuits and parallel circuits.
