Equivalent Resistance Simulator

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a simulator for calculating equivalent resistance in circuits, specifically for configurations involving resistors in parallel and series. Users recommend using CircuitLab, a linear circuit simulator that allows for comprehensive circuit design and analysis. The mention of PSpice indicates a preference for established simulation tools, although CircuitLab is highlighted as a user-friendly option for this specific need.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic electrical circuit concepts, including series and parallel resistor configurations.
  • Familiarity with linear circuit simulation tools.
  • Knowledge of equivalent resistance calculations.
  • Basic proficiency in using web-based simulation platforms like CircuitLab.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore CircuitLab for circuit design and equivalent resistance calculations.
  • Learn how to use PSpice for more advanced circuit simulations.
  • Research the principles of series and parallel resistor combinations.
  • Investigate other linear circuit simulators for comparison, such as LTspice or Multisim.
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, hobbyists designing circuits, and professionals needing to verify equivalent resistance calculations in circuit designs.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a simulator where I can make a circuit and the simulator tells me the equivalent resistance? I need one that will allow me to put resistors in parallel, series, del to y etc.. I can't find one or know of a way just confirming that my original calculations of the equivalent resistance is correct.

pspice?

you want a linear circuit simulator.
noone will make one just for resistors... or if they did it wouldn't be just for resistors for long.
