Abstract

This paper delves into the concept of virtual electrical laboratories, offering a comprehensive exploration of their design and functionality. A user-centered perspective is employed to analyze existing limitations and underscore the critical need for improved usability in virtual lab design. The study proposes practical applications aimed at swiftly enhancing the efficacy of these virtual environments, focusing on experiments involving R-L-C, R-L, and R-C circuits for both steadystate and transient responses. Using JavaScript, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the paper introduces a validated methodology through real-time experiments conducted in the laboratory and on the proposed virtual lab platform. The versatility of this approach positions it as a viable solution for implementation in various domains, including electric machines, power systems, and circuit theory labs. In alignment with the growing trend of long-distance education, where students seek engagement in diverse experiments from their homes, this paper contributes to the evolution of virtual electrical laboratories.
