CircuitLab Functionality and Simulation Concepts

This tutorial introduces CircuitLab, guiding users through building a circuit with a square wave input and a low-pass filter. It covers using the editor, placing components, wiring, and simulating the circuit. Users learn to track voltages, run time-domain simulations, and adjust parameters to observe changes. The tutorial concludes with saving and sharing the circuit for public access.

What is the first step when starting a new project in CircuitLab?

• Naming the nodes

• Adding a capacitor

• Entering Simulation Mode

• Starting in Build Mode

Why is it necessary to add a ground to the circuit?

• To enhance frequency

• To reduce resistance

• To simulate properly

• To increase voltage

How can you rotate a selected element in CircuitLab?

• By double-clicking the element

• By dragging the element

• By clicking the rotate button

• By pressing the R key

What is the purpose of naming nodes in a circuit?

• To change the circuit's color

• To add more components

• To identify and track specific points

• To increase the circuit's speed

What does the 'u' in '1u' stand for when setting the capacitor value?

• Universal

• Unit

• Ultra

• Micro

What is the DC offset set to in the voltage function generator?

• 3

• 5

• 9

• 7

What is the purpose of running a time-domain simulation?

• To add more components

• To see the circuit's color

• To observe square waves over time

• To increase the circuit's speed

How can you zoom in on the graph during a simulation?

• By double-clicking the graph

• By pressing the Z key

• By dragging on the graph

• By clicking the zoom button

What is the final step after completing a circuit in CircuitLab?

• Running another simulation

• Adding more components

• Saving and sharing the circuit

• Changing the circuit's color

What happens when you click 'Make public' for your circuit?

• The circuit becomes viewable by others

• The circuit is saved locally

• The circuit is deleted

• The circuit's color changes
