After you have completed your circuit, you can check
its properties by adding a meter.
The Ammeter is just another element, like a piece
of wire or a resistor: you drag it onto the grid and make it
a portion of the circuit.
When current starts to flow through it,
click the Ammeter tab at the bottom of the screen
to show the current (in Amps) as a function of time.
For ordinary DC circuits with a constant current,
the graph will show a horizontal line.
There is only a single ammeter, so you may have to
move it from place to place to sample currents in a
circuit with multiple loops.
Currents running from the negative end to the positive end of the ammeter are considered positive; currents running the other way are negative.
