Another Beginners question
« on: February 28, 2016, 03:15:35 am »
What is a good circuit design program for my PC, that i can draw up and test my designs? I heard about one called circuit lab, but checking to see what you guys might add. im trying to get myself really going here too just self teaching :box:

there was a free on i tried, that was crap. casue no matter how i changed cap values or resistor values, the circuit acted the same. then i removed all that all together and it acted right. and i knew that was wrong, becasue a 9v DC souce would burn a LED out without a resistor of the correct ohms.  :blah:

I don't know if it will save you from burning up your virtual LED....

   If three 100  Ohm resistors are connected in parallel, and in series with a 200 Ohm resistor, how many resistors do you have?

You can also try out EveryCircuit on Android/iOS. It got example circuits with physics and formulas explained.

Dave made a video about CircuitMaker, it worth a watch before trying the software
