Analog Circuits

In these MicroSims we will build simulations of analog circuits. Instead of DC voltages, these circuits often have AC inputs and include components such as capacitors, inductors and resistors.

About this MicroSim

Sample Prompt

Create a single file p5.js sketch.
Draw a green circle on a 600x400 canvas with a radius of 200.

Sample Response

let canvasHeight = 400;
let aspectRatio = 1.91; // Open Graph standard
let canvasWidth = canvasHeight * aspectRatio;
let radius = 200;
function setup() {
const canvas = createCanvas(canvasWidth, canvasHeight);
  canvas.parent('canvas-container');
  fill(245);
  rect(0,0, canvasWidth, canvasHeight);
  fill('green');
  circle(canvasWidth/2, canvasHeight/2, radius);
}
