The advancement of hardware technology, specifically in mobiles devices, has provided great computational power for running and creating sophisticated large programs such as, virtual reality, augmented reality and neural network based programs. Augmented reality (AR) is one of the finest and most exciting technologies nowadays. AR enables creating computerized objects and blending them with the real world. Which can be applied to enhance and simplify many aspects in a variety of disciplines. In result, instead of reading text and imagining experimentations it is possible to simulate the experiments through equipment and experiments as same as in real world scenarios, which can be much understandable and comprehensible. In the past decade, several institutions have adopted technological methods of teaching and learning. These instructional technologies can be used by some institutions that cannot provide enough time or proper equipment to students. This is where augmented and virtual reality are mostly favorable. In result, instead of reading text and imagining experimentations it is possible to simulate the experiments through equipment and experiments as same as in real world scenarios, which can be much understandable and comprehensible. In this paper, a model of an electric circuit is created to simulate the motion of electrons and how electric current runs through a wire and provides power for different tools. The creation of such a model involves design, modeling, simulation and animation of the model. This is done by relying on several software and frameworks such as Maya3D, Unity3D, ARKit, etc. .
