Capacitor Lab: Basics (Prototype)

Screenshot: Phet Simulation - Capacitor Lab: Basics. Adjustable voltage for a batery connected to two plates where you can adjust the separation of the plates in mm and the Plate Area. Output shows the Capacitance in pF. Various options for the view, plate charges, Bar graphs, electric field, current and a volte meter.

An early exploration (2015) into how to make a sim accessible has taken place for Capacitor Lab Basics. The sim is keyboard navigable with some auditory descriptions when using 'Forms' mode with a screen reader. We are working on updating the content and the interactions, so that the simulation can be accessed by a screen reader in any mode. This prototype has been tested with NVDA and Firefox.
