Is there any application that simulates a virtual laboratory where you can create your own electrical circuits using diversified components ( like engine, bulb or whatever you want ) and test the circuit if it works?

I remember when I was at school, we used something called "Crocodile Clips", a quick search has brought up this:

We use Circuit Wizard in our GCSE class...

Can't say how it measures up against other programs, but by and large, most of our projects ended up not working IRL, after successful simulations...

Thankfully, it's an issue everyone had, so the exam board's letting us have the marks if we show it working in simulation...

I use crocodile clips by yenka at school. However, I prefer to use the older version.

Thanks,,,

Just to add to what everybody else has said. Yenka is free and cool

I remember a program called Electronics Workbench.
You could use many components, including IC's, like the 555, LED displays, numeric displays, LCD displays, logic gates, etc.
I don't know if they are still making it, and I remember it was a bit expensive.
