/* Running a Live Simulation */
<math>V_{R2} = \frac{R_2}{R_1+R_2} V_s = \frac{2}{3} V_s</math>
To start a live simulation, click the "'''Go/Run'''" [[File:b2Run_Tool.png]] button of the '''[[Main toolbar|Main Toolbar]]''', or select the "'''Go/Run'''" item of '''Simulate Menu''', or simply use the keyboard shortcut {{key|Ctrl+G}}. You will notice the timer window next to the Run button starts showing the passage of time. However, you won't be able to notice any other change on the screen. You can view the value of voltages, currents or powers on your circuit. To do so, you should press one of the buttons [[File:B2V_Tool.png]], [[File:B2I_Tool.png]] or [[File:B2P_Tool.png]] on the '''[[Schematic toolbar|Schematic Toolbar]]''' to display '''Voltage Text''', '''Current Text''' or '''Power Text''', respectively. To hide the texts, press the relevant buttons once again to deselect them. The following figures show the voltage and power texts.

Keep in mind that since your voltage source is DC, the voltages, currents or powers do not change a function of time. Therefore, you will continue to see fixed values of these circuit quantities. To stop a live simulation, click the "'''Stop/Reset'''" [[File:b2Stop_Tool.png]] button of the '''[[Main toolbar|Main Toolbar]]''', or select the "'''Stop/Reset'''" item of '''Simulate Menu''', or simply use the keyboard shortcut {{key|Ctrl+E}}.
Before moving to the next section of this tutorial, let us verify the results that you have got so far. The current in your circuit is given by:
