Discussion:
As a student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, studying the laws governing
the beautiful phenomenon of electricity as well as experimenting and putting these
laws to the test for a proper visualisation is the first activity that a newbie should
begin with. Experimentation of DC circuits requires proper guideline of an expert
and adequate circuit components and lab equipments. Otherwise, it will seem to be
a bit difficult. But with the help of Pspice, a strong computer aided circuit simulating
software, we can virtually analyse the voltages, resistances, current sources and other
elements which would’ve been troublesome if it hadn’t been for this amazing
software.
A circuit can be simulated in two ways in Pspice: 1) Netlist & 2) Schematics.

Although the use of schematics might appear easy at first, as the circuits get more
and more tangled up thus becoming non-planar, using netlist could be an excellent
choice to ease the situation. The wonderful thing about this software is regardless if
you choose schematics or netlist, it will show the exact same results as the results
figured out theoretically. That is if we ignore the tiny negligible inaccuracies. And
as the same has happened in this case, we can finally conclude that Pspice has
successfully simulated the given circuits.
