This category asks for an interactive circuit solver. The model must understand the second-order dynamics of a series RLC circuit, classify the damping regime, and implement a numeric solver that stays stable as the user sweeps , , and .
The artifact must plot the step response live and give immediate visual feedback when the circuit moves from underdamped ringing to overdamped sluggishness.
Common failure modes
- Wrong damping classification — treating every response as underdamped regardless of vs .
- Unstable explicit integration when the time step is too coarse for the chosen and .
- Missing units or mislabelled axes make the plot unreadable.
Task: Circuit Builder Teaser
Build a Canvas 2D page that adjusts , , and plots the series RLC step response. Correctness of damping classification and solver stability drive the score.
