DC Analysis Using Orcad Capture

1) The document describes using Orcad Capture to simulate DC circuits and verify analytical solutions. It provides two example circuits and their solutions using both analytical and Orcad Capture methods. 2) The examples show setting up the circuits in Orcad Capture by drawing components, running simulations to calculate voltages, currents and power, and verifying the results match analytical solutions. 3) Two practice problems are given to solve using both analytical methods and Orcad Capture simulation to verify the solutions are equal.
