Controls
Insert Key Button:This is used to insert key on the switch connected with battery. This key is only activated when the connection is perfect.
Choose Zener Diode: This combo box is used to select different zener diodes having different zener voltage
Series Resistance: Value of the Series Resistance can be directly input here.
Slider
Rheostat value: Rheostat can be controlled by using this slider
Load Resistance: Value of load resistance can be set or change by using this slider
Button
Reset Button: To reset all the connections
Procedure
Using the circuit diagram, identify the connections in the given platform. Connections are made as shown in the below diagram.
How to make connections in simulation ?
Click one end node of the battery and drag to the next position, where we want to connect the wire. Just like shown in the figures below:
(a) (b) (c)
Like this, make all the connections are perfect.

If the connections are correct, Insert Key option activated
Note: This is an ideal circuit. For a real circuit, there will be small variations in output voltage with varying input voltage or load resistance.
