A reference companion to the museum — curated topic sections that go deeper on the subjects behind the collection. Every entry, image, and fact is drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
Foundations
The building blocks of electricity — voltage, current, and resistance, Ohm's law, and the pioneers who first described them.
12 entriesResistors & Components
The parts on the breadboard — resistors and the color code, LEDs, capacitors, and the tools for measuring a circuit.
9 entriesBatteries & Power
What powers a project — battery chemistries, capacity, charging, and the cells behind everyday electronics.
7 entriesStatic Electricity
The science of static charge — the triboelectric effect, the Leyden jar and Van de Graaff generator, and lightning itself.
