About

Coulomb is a simple and elegant circuit simulator. Features: Draw arbitrary circuits Plot voltage and current of devices against time Save/Load circuits Dark Mode support Beautiful UI Available Devices: Resistor Battery Current Source AC Voltage Source Inductor Capacitor Diode Zener Diode Problems: Circuits containing non-linear devices will most probably not be solvable, because the current backend is not good at dealing with non-linear systems, that's going to change though. Due to the way inductors and capacitors are modeled you can't put two inductors in series, or two capacitors in parallel, that's also going to be fixed.
