Using Falstad's Circuit Simulator

Step 2Selecting different components

Selecting different components
When you are wanting to make your own circuit, you can select the components you want to use such as a resistor. This can be selected by Right Clicking in an area where there are no wires etc. Then selecting "Add Resistor". Most of the other components are in sub-menu's e.g.

Right click > Passive Components > Add Push Switch

After the component has been selected, you click and drag in an empty space for where you want the component to be. (The component can be dragged to different sizes.)

To join different components, Right click > Add Wire. Then, if there were to components such as a Resistor and Capacitor, you would go from one of the legs of the resistor, to the leg of the capacitor that you would want to join. When you are dragging the wire, on each of the capacitor/resistor legs, a small circle will appear as this is where the wire would join to.

The circuit in the picture is a simple LED, resistor and power supply circuit.
