drop them in the toilet, just do it.
Level 1: Introduction / One bulby boi
Turn the volume down in your sound mixer before getting ear raped by clashing components.
Next turn the walking speed in the settings to max.

WASD + Mouse for movement
E for picking up
Things snap into place as you clash them together
Use R T F G V B for Rotation of the components

First Task: Obviously connect the bulb with the battery and close the curcuit any way you like.

Go to the Exit
Level 2: Two Bulbs
Put either to bulbs in parallel or in series. go to the exit.

Parallel splits the current not the voltage therefore usually the bulbs are brighter.

Exit.
Level 3: 3 light bulbs
Put either 2 in parallel and after that another one following them (in series)

or do a Parallel one between 2 lightbulbs behind each other and a single one.

(the single one will be brighter because the parallel split gives both sides full voltage but divides amp instead)
Level 4: One bulb off
First cut the power of one bulb by connecting a wire around one of the bulbs creating a shortage that has less resistance (ideally 0) compared to the bulb e.g. 10Ohm

Then go upstairs and get the additional bulb for 2nd task:

Get the bulb and connect it next to the battery.

Exit

Level 5: Two Batteries
Bright Light Bulb:
Put two batteries in series meaning one after another (plus on one battery facing minus on the other)

Batteries in series add their voltages, batteries in parallel add their Amps

(Anything with resistance does the same but dividing it instead: lamps in parallel split amps and keep the full voltage. Lamps in series keep the amps but the voltage is divided (not always equally depending on the curcuit itself if it's a mix between parallel and series))

Meaning Series 10V +10V=20V and parallel e.g. 5A + 5A = 10A.
Level 6: Potential
We need 15 Volt by putting the battery in series (not inbewteen the Volt meter measuring powerline!)
then but 3 bulbs inbetween the volt meter and the 4th bulb after or before the battery doesn't matter as it doesn't change the position of the voltmeter and the voltages and amount of bulbs in total:

Here's the math

2 batteries B1 and B2 have each 10V

B1 + B2 = 20V

we want to measure a usage of 15V of those 20V so we need 3/4 voltage

20 V / 4 bulbs equal 5V each therefore you put 3 inbetween the voltmeter and the forth either before or after otherwise each bulb in series would pull about 6,66667 Volt and those three then would display 20volt not 15 V

Level 7: More Potential in Heaven
Task:

(Picture included)

To get the +10 Volt put the Battery in the first voltmeter ( watch out for the correct direction of current)
-> you want the batteries in series for a positive result +10V at the first voltmeter

To get the -5 Volt you need a resistance that takes away 5V in series from the two batteries (20V total) therefore you need one bulb inbetween the second meter and 3 additional in series after the second meter

Benjamin Franklin Memelord.
Direction of current actually goes from negative to positive battery pole ( - -> +)

But in technical terms Direction of current goes from plus to minus

So in conclusion you are getting taught the "wrong direction" your life is a lie

Btw destroy the grammophones for extra points
Level 8: Capacitor
Put the capacitor (Two Metal Ring Plates) into the curcuit with the battery and wait until it fully charges. You can tell by the lesser and lesser electrons wandering from one plate to the other
-> as soon as there are only few electrons left travelling,
take the capacitor out and put it in the other circuit

( the electrons travel from plate connected to the plus pole over to the negative side showing that the physical direction of current is the right one)

If you care to know more about capacitors:

The casual plate capacitor has higher capacity the closer the plates are to each other, (d) m
the bigger those plates are in squaremeters ( geometry doesn't matter as long as 2 flat identical planes exist) (A) m²

and what material is inbetween those two plates, it can be air or countless other materials though it has to have a high resistance, the higher it is the better the capacity (er - Air = 1,00059 | space: 1)

c =( e0 * er * A ) / d

c = parallel plate capacitance (in Farad F)
er = dielectric constant of the material you choose
e0 = a well known dielectric constant of free space (vacume) 8.85 * 10^-12 As/Vm
d = distance between the two plates

There are also cylindrical capacitors but not shown here.

Exit.
Level 9: Parallel vs Series Capacitors
Capacitors in series have a lower capacity therefore that is what you wanna do to complete this level.

Capacitors in series charge faster but have a lower total capacity

Capacitors in Parallel take longer but have higher capacity

There are two different formulas concering that matter

Parallel: C1 + C2 = C all

Series: 1/C all = 1 / C1 + 1/C2 .... + 1/C n

Level 10: Parallel Capacitor Long Shortage
Go upstairs and find the following parts: 2 capacitors (flat round plates) and one tube

Throw that down and close the circuit with the tube and create a parallel capacitor

If you put one capacitor the wrong way and close the circuit it blows up, good luck guessing.

And wait a bit (boring)

Exit.
Level 11: Inductor
Take the spiral noodle meme thingy that uses electro magnetic fields as it takes longer to run like windows 95 or somethin.

Exit.
Level 12: Inductor in Series
Parallel is slower as the sign says so put the spiral things in series.

Consider the spiral tube what it is. A longer way for the electrons if you would straigthen it out.
putting them parallel gives a overall shorter way therefore faster so if you want the bulb to brighten slower than before you need to slow them down by putting it in series.

Exit.
Level 13: Capacitor, Tube or Inductor?
You want the bulb to become dimmer over time.

As we learned:

a short circuit (tube) as a parallel wire will turn the bulb off completly. - wrong

a inductor takes time to speed up and will brighten the bulby over time in series but in parallel it will actually start to take away more and more elctrons

a capacitor will take away power over time but in parallel it will stop taking power at some point making it brighter over time

Final answer: spiral thingy is your way to go

Exit


Level 14: Left off Right on
Left side capacitor, Right side Inductor

Left side: capacitor instantly powers the bulb but as its capacity reaches its end it will stop the bulb
right side: the inductor will take time to brighten up the lamp and then keep going forever.

It takes some time so just go outside and wait at the exit door downstairs in the garden.

(Left and right is shown on the board for reference)
Exit


PS: IF it doesn't work try to swap sides on the spiral inductor
Level Cake: Ohm would be proud
As you did with the potatoes, flush that beautiful cake and certificate down the toilet. (for real)
