Electrical Circuits Simulation Using Multisim Electronics Workbench: An Introduction

This document describes an experiment using Multisim software to simulate an electrical circuit and measure voltage and current. It involves building a circuit with a battery, resistors, and meters to measure voltage and current. The steps include placing the components, connecting them, adding meters to measure voltage and current, simulating the circuit, and recording measurements at different battery voltages. The objectives are to investigate using meters to measure voltage and current, how components behave over their rated values, and to verify Ohm's law.

Fundamentals

Introduction :

This experiment has two parts. Each part will have to be carried out using the Multisim
Electronics Workbench software. The experiment will then be repeated with hardwired
laboratory equipment. The experiments involve measurement of voltage and current in a dc
.circuit and verification of ohm’s law
PART I: VOLTAGE AND CURRENT IN A DC CIRCUIT
Objectives

1. Investigate how to use a voltmeter to measure voltage across a circuit


component
2. Investigate how to use an ammeter to measure current flow in a circuit
component
3. Investigate what happens if the rated value of a component is exceeded
(only simulation will be used to investigate this step)
Materials

One dc power supply

One dc 0-20V Voltmeter

One dc 0-100mA Ammeter

One Multimeter

Procedure

Simulation

1. Construct the circuit shown in Figure 1 on the Multisim Electronics Workbench.


Use 5V, 1W lamp for simulation. (In the Components Toolbar select the
Indicator icon; now find Voltmeter, Ammeter and Lamp in this window).
2. Set the dc supply voltage to 3V and click the Simulate Switch and verify that the
battery voltage is 3V as measured by the voltmeter. Record the voltage across
the lamp terminals ‘V’ and the current ‘I’ flowing through it in Table 1. Calculate
power dissipation in the lamp using the relationship P=VI and note it down.
3. Change the dc supply voltage to 5V. Run the analysis again. Record voltage and
current in Table 1 and calculate power dissipation in the lamp.
4. Change the dc supply voltage to 7V. Run the analysis and see the effect on the
intensity of light. Record voltage, current in Table 1 and calculate power
dissipation.
Change the dc supply voltage to 8V. Run the analysis and observe the value of current

: Then we will have
