Introduction
In this lab session, we learned to utilize the Pspice
software, on how to use it to make simple circuits
and find the value of voltage, current and power
through any component. We learned where each of
the circuit components are in the software and how
to insert them and set up the circuit.
Objectives
The objectives of this lab were to: -
Equipment
The following equipment was required during the lab: -
• Mouse
• Computer
• Keyboard
3
• Pspice software
• Capture Lite Edition
Theoretical Background
We made our circuits on Capture Lite Edition. First, we click File->
New --> Project and create a blank document. Now we start
placing the circuit elements. To place wire press shift+W and left
click. To place ground, press shift+G, choose 0 source and press
ok. For placing resistor, click place--> parts ---> analog. Now type
R in symbol and press ok. This will allow us to place resistor. To
place dc voltage source, click place --> part. Choose source from
library and write Vdc under part. This will allow us to place voltage
source. Now to run the circuit, click Pspice--> New Simulation
Profile, name it and press ok. Now choose Bias point from the
dropdown menu of Analysis type. Bias point shows us the current,
voltage and power through components in a circuit but does not
show us any sort of graph. Now press V, I and W on the top of the
page to view current, voltage and power through the components.
Task 1
Task 3
Conclusion
By the end of the lab, we became accustomed to the use of Pspice to
make simple circuits and to find power, voltages and currents. This

helped us to make even more complex circuits as can be seen in task 3.
