Virtual Physics Labs have sophisticated simulations that enable the users to conduct a vast array of physics experiments. Users can work with interactive electronic components to create electric circuits, conduct oscillatory experiments on different planets, or interact with specialized virtual equipment such as a Laser Beam Emitter. All this becomes available to the user simply with a computer and an internet connection. In excess of 60 physics experiments have been virtualized as part of the VALUE initiative. Experiments have been developed in the areas of Mechanics, Non-linear Dynamics, Electricity and Magnetism, Heat and Thermodynamics, Modern Physics, Harmonic Motion and Waves, Optics, and Electric Circuits.
