Circuit Diagrams in technical writing

AI Thread Summary
For creating circuit diagrams for journal papers, several software options are recommended. Users often utilize Falstad Circuit Simulator for its ease of use, allowing for circuit construction and customization of backgrounds. However, for professional submissions, it's crucial to obtain permission from the original authors if using their diagrams. Other software alternatives may include dedicated circuit design tools that offer higher quality and more professional outputs suitable for peer-reviewed journals.

I am writing a paper for a journal. The paper is supposed to have quite a few circuit diagrams. What software should I use to draw the circuit diagrams?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What I usually do is go to this simulator:

http://www.falstad.com/circuit/

And start constructing my circuit there and then I make the background white, and finish off by doing a print screen to use the image where I want.

I hope this helps. :)

PS: If you're doing this for an official article you're planning on submitting to a peer-reviewed, professional journal, I'd ask the author permission to use the diagrams.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
