Hi, Electronics is very new to me. I took the most basic circuit I could think of: A voltage source of 1V A resistor of 1 Ohm As far a I understand I should get a curent of (I = V/R) 1 Amper. But the stimulation does not give a solution and sais I should have ground. Why should I have ground if I have a voltage source that gives potential differences from its two sides? I attach the circuit: https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/839aaj6y5a6t/simplest-circuit/ Thanks! |

The math, like any sim package, cannot cope if you float everything. SPICE is the same.Er, your one ohm resistor seems to have grown to two ohms. |

Negative terminal of voltage source should be grounded to provide positive voltages to circuit. |
