About this Simulation

This simulation models the mechanical analogy between a spring-mass system and an RLC electrical circuit. Learners can visualise how mass inertia, spring elasticity, and friction correspond to inductance, capacitance, and resistance. Adjust parameters to observe oscillations, damping effects, and resonance phenomena in both mechanical and electrical contexts.

Learning objectives: Understand the mathematical and physical correspondence between mechanical and electrical oscillatory systems | Investigate how damping affects oscillation amplitude and frequency in RLC circuits | Explore resonance conditions and energy transfer in coupled spring-mass-damper systems
