Focus ground

A three-pin NPN switches the LED collector path. A separate base resistor/control node and supply-negative/emitter ground return remain explicit. The ground node connects Q1.emitter, V1.negative, GND; the other nets remain distinct.

Focus groundFocus ground. D1: led, LED. Q1: npn, NPN. RB: resistor, 10 kΩ. RS: resistor, 330 Ω. V1: dc-source, 5 V. base: Q1.base connected to RB.b. collector: D1.cathode connected to Q1.collector. control: CTRL connected to RB.a. ground: GND connected to Q1.emitter connected to V1.negative. led_anode: D1.anode connected to RS.b. supply: RS.a connected to V1.positive. Topology illustration, not a device simulation. Shared-ground low-side NPN topology. No gain, saturation, LED current or switching-time model.. Focus components: none. Focus nets: ground.

Scroll horizontally on smaller screens to inspect legible nodes and labels. No simulation is performed.

Expected vs. actual

An inspectable result.

These checks compare the renderer outcome with the declared case expectation. The stress test also checks determinism, geometry, and connectivity.

Electrical nodes & connectivity

Each net is one electrical node: the named endpoints below are connected. Component pins and external ports are endpoints. These counts are not the number of geometric junction dots or wire bends. No voltages, currents, or simulation results are inferred.
