Series Circuit Model  

In this model, students can observe what happens to the current, voltage and power output of a circuit as more resistors are added in series.

THE MODEL
Vensim Version STELLA Version

[Diagram Level | Equations Level | Graphs ]



Total_Charge(t) = Total_Charge(t - dt) + (Current) * dt
INIT Total_Charge = 0
Current = Applied_Voltage/Total_Resistance
Applied_Voltage = 12
P1 = Current*V1
P2 = Current*V2
P3 = Current*V3
Power = Applied_Voltage*Current
R1 = 2
R2 = 0
R3 = 0
Total_Resistance = R1+R2+R3
V1 = Current*R1
V2 = Current*R2
V3 = Current*R3
Time Specs
Range = 0 - 12, dT = 0.1, Integration Method = Euler's
