These pages provide a water model of an electrical circuit. In
this case, the gerbil running in its wheel and the bucket pump
are the equivalent of a battery. The water represents the
flowing electrons. The membrane in the middle is the circuit's
capacitor. The spinning waterwheel represents the resistor which
powers the light bulb. This model is part of the UVA Virtual Lab
collection. This project is supported by grants from the
National Science Foundation, the University of Virginia, IBM,
and Discreet Corporation. Please note that this resource
