Hi I'm new to CIRCUIT LAB. How can i read the current intensity in a point of the circuit?

'Current intensity'? is that the same as current?, anyways if you make a simple circuit and click simulate (bottom left) then run DC solver, it will simulate and you can take a pen and click around if you click on just a wire it will tell you the voltage it you click where a wire joins a component it will tell you the voltage and the current. Current gets a little confusing if you have more then two components at the same node branching off. just start with a simple circuit.

You can read a bit of historical context about the term "Current Intensity" in the "Symbol" paragraph here:
