DC Motor Simulator
Link to program & source code (use ctrl-drag to orbit the camera)
Final project for AP Physics C with Ms. Sharaf. I worked with Aareeb Jamil for this project. The premise was to create a simulation using VPython that showed a few of the concepts we learned in Mechanics, E&M, or both! We decided to incorporate both with a DC motor simulator.
