Step 2 : To calculate Voltage and Current used the PSPICE

a. The circuit is drawn as below

b. To measure dc voltage drop across the resistor and wire up, the VPRINT1 and VPRINT2

Step 3 : reading the data

f. Output file is examined. The answer is written down.

i. The second technique is used to measure dc voltage in a circuit.

● VIEWPOINT is used to measure dc voltage

 ● IPROBE is used to measure dc voltage

j. The values has checked and compare with the manually calculation.
DISCUSSION

In this experiment we have learn the concept of DC analysis and apply it. We also knew
how to use some tools to simulate a circuit. However it’s little bit hard to us to apply this
method because some tools has used a code so, its hard to us to makesure the tools.

CONCLUSION

From this experiment we have learn about concept of DC analysis by using PSPICE. In our
opinion, using this method hard but its simple and easy to get the answer campare use
manually method. Because when we used the manually method, sometimes has an error in
calculated.
