Labo Élec

Using Labo Élec in class

Labo Élec is free to use in class: project an experiment, set exercises as homework, prepare a measurement session. No account, no installation, on computer and tablet.

Projecting an experiment

The sandbox suits demonstrations: build the circuit live, connect a voltmeter or an ammeter, show the current arrows, and the schematic view draws itself alongside. A circuit exports to a file that can be re-imported or shared.

Setting an exercise

Every exercise has a direct address to paste into a homework diary or a learning platform: students open it and do it in the lab. Exercises are sorted by chapter and level; many are parametric (values change with every draw), which limits copying. Course sheets list every exercise of their chapter.

A graded practice session

The Practice mode offers a session of exercises on one or several chapters, with hints, correction and a report by skill (know, compute, build, measure, analyse). The grade stays on the student's device: nothing is sent to a server.

The course covered

Fifteen chapters of general electricity in direct current and the basics of AC: units, Ohm's law, power and energy, resistor networks, real generators, Kirchhoff's laws, capacitors, magnetism, induction, alternating current, RLC circuits, measurement. The formula sheet and the glossary serve as reminders.

Terms

The site is free, ad-free and collects no personal data (see the privacy page). It runs in a recent browser, on computer or tablet; on a phone, sheets and the formula sheet remain readable. To report an error in an exercise or suggest a chapter, use the contact form at the bottom of the page.

How does it work?

The perfboard: each big hole is a circuit node. You push a single leg of a component (resistor, lamp...) into it. The 4 small holes around it are connected to it: that is where chips and leads plug in.

  1. Drag a component onto the board: it snaps onto the grid. R rotates it.
  2. To join neighbouring big holes, click Jumper chip in the palette (or C) then drag on the board: a line of chips is laid at once. Bridged holes become a single node.
  3. For long links and for the power supply (placed next to the board), drag a lead from one big hole to another (or to a terminal).
  4. As soon as a loop is closed, the circuit is solved in real time (Ohm + Kirchhoff) and the diagram follows.
  5. Zoom with the wheel (or + / , two-finger pinch); drag the background to pan, 0 fits the board. The + buttons around the board add a row or a column.
