Falstad a beginners question

[wotsallthis]

Hello all,  I have just found Falstad and have a couple of questions to ask please.

I connected an led to a 50 volt battery with a 100 ohm resistor. The led still lights. Shouldn't it burn out (diagramatically of course) or is it that the programme doesn't have this facility? Perhaps my sums are wrong, I am a beginner after all.

How do I have a two way (double) switch on this programme?  I would like to experiment with a capacitor and a lamp.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Anyone? Pleeease?

Ok never mind.

We do not see where your resistance is. It must be in series.

Here is the calculation for your request.

Kind of you , thank you , sorry for not replying I have not been well.

I suspect many did not see your thread all those months ago.

I confess I did not.

I hope you are now ell again.

Are you still interested in discussing that circuit or circuitry in general ?

Before using a circuit simulator I would recommend finding out a little about circuit elements or components.

By experiment with, did you mean witha actual components or on a simulator ?

Thank you Kartazian and Studiot. I'm very well thanks for asking.

You have obviously "tumbled" me as a beginner and I will enjoy going through this.

I may well come back to you.

Keep well

Alan

As a begginner, I know the symbols for amps, voltage, resistance, power and a tiny bit more.

Could I trouble you Kartazian to explain the symbols in your diagram please?

Ua, Vf and 1f,

Best

Just a note, hope you are well. I'm getting into Falstad a bit, and learning, thanks to your help.
