Circuit simulation with Falstad

#falstad #circuit #simulation
We will explore the main features of the Falstad circuit simulator which is completely free and web-based. We can create a circuit with many basic components, run a simulation and even add scopes to query the voltage and current. There's also a handy import-export function.
