‭Abstract:‬
‭Circuit‬ ‭simulation‬ ‭software,‬ ‭l ike‬ ‭Multisim,‬ ‭i s‬ ‭really‬ ‭i mportant‬ ‭i n‬‭modern‬‭engineering.‬‭This‬‭allows‬‭engineers‬‭the‬‭ability‬‭to‬
d‭ esign,‬ ‭prototype,‬ ‭and‬ ‭optimize‬ ‭circuits‬ ‭virtually,‬ ‭which‬ ‭l ater‬ ‭reduces‬ ‭the‬ ‭number‬ ‭of‬ ‭prototypes‬ ‭that‬ ‭have‬ ‭to‬‭be‬‭physically‬‭made‬‭and‬
‭accelerates‬‭the‬‭entire‬‭design‬‭process.‬‭The‬‭purpose‬‭of‬‭this‬‭experiment‬‭was‬‭to‬‭enhance‬‭the‬‭understanding‬‭of‬‭simple‬‭DC‬‭circuit‬‭principles‬
‭using‬ ‭the‬ ‭Multisim‬ ‭software.‬ ‭It‬ ‭also‬ ‭aimed‬ ‭at‬ ‭i ncreasing‬ ‭their‬ ‭knowledge‬ ‭of‬ ‭DC‬ ‭circuit‬ ‭resistance,‬ ‭voltage,‬ ‭and‬ ‭current.‬ ‭In‬ ‭the‬
‭experiment,‬‭a‬‭simple‬‭resistor‬‭circuit‬‭was‬‭simulated‬‭to‬‭confirm‬‭Ohm's‬‭Law‬‭using‬‭the‬‭voltage-current‬‭connection,‬‭and‬‭a‬‭l amp‬‭circuit‬‭was‬
‭coupled‬‭to‬‭a‬‭changeable‬‭power‬‭source‬‭to‬‭monitor‬‭variables‬‭i ncluding‬‭current,‬‭voltage,‬‭and‬‭power‬‭l oss.‬‭The‬‭results‬‭obtained‬‭i ndicate‬‭that‬
‭the‬‭l uminosity‬‭of‬‭the‬‭l amp‬‭relies‬‭upon‬‭the‬‭source‬‭voltage.‬‭As‬‭source‬‭voltage‬‭i ncreases,‬‭the‬‭corresponding‬‭voltage‬‭i n‬‭the‬‭l amp‬‭i ncreases.‬
‭For‬‭the‬‭case‬‭of‬‭the‬‭resistance‬‭circuit,‬‭i t‬‭shows‬‭that‬‭when‬‭the‬‭voltage‬‭i s‬‭up,‬‭then‬‭the‬‭current‬‭i ncreases‬‭as‬‭well;‬‭therefore,‬‭this‬‭justifies‬‭that‬
‭the resistors are stable against the current they have been rated for.‬

‭condition. Measurement agreement proves‬

2‭ . How could you tell if the resistance is linear or‬


‭not? Any other observations or comments:‬

‭Resistance is linear if the V/I‬


r‭ elationship is a straight line, that means the ratio‬
‭is constant. The V-I plot confirmed that it is a‬
‭s traight line, and so therefore, voltage increases‬
‭directly with the increase in current.‬

‭heats up, its resistance may manifest non-linear.‬

‭Discussion‬

‭ sing Multisim, we established the relationship‬


U
‭between voltage and current across a resistor in this‬
‭experiment to verify that Ohm's law holds. Ohm's law‬
‭s tipulates that the current flowing through a conductor‬
‭between two points is directly proportional to the voltage‬
‭across the two points, given that the resistance is kept‬
‭constant. Our approach was to apply different DC supply‬
‭voltages to the resistor, measure the resulting current, and‬
‭at each measurement verify that it demonstrates the linear‬
‭relation expected of a constant resistor.‬

‭All these give consistent results; each one‬


s‭ hows a resistance of 100 ohms: using the ohmmeter, from‬
‭the direct calculation from Ohm's law as V = IR, and from‬
‭the slope of the V-I plot. This consistency between the‬
‭methods indicates that the resistor is acting ideally in the‬
‭s imulation, that is, its resistance does not depend on the‬
‭voltage applied across it, thus validating that indeed‬
‭Ohm's law holds.‬

‭ his linear V-I relationship in the plot also serves‬


T
‭as an evidence for the ohmic behavior of the resistor. This‬
‭practically means that any increase in the applied voltage‬
‭across the resistor yields a directly proportional variation‬
‭of current, which is valid for any linear resistor. It is known‬
‭that in practice, the resistances vary due to temperature‬
‭and give nonlinear responses; in such a simulated case, all‬
‭s uch influences are neglected to verify the theoretical‬
‭predictions of Ohm's law by filtering out these‬
‭interferences from the outside.‬

‭VI. Conclusion‬

‭Overall,‬ ‭we‬ ‭determined‬‭that‬‭Multisim‬‭is‬‭effective‬


i‭n‬‭the‬‭analysis‬‭of‬‭the‬‭DC‬‭circuits.‬‭We‬‭conducted‬‭a‬‭number‬
‭of‬ ‭circuit‬ ‭configuration‬ ‭s imulations‬ ‭and‬ ‭assessed‬ ‭the‬
‭respective‬ ‭voltages,‬ ‭currents‬ ‭and‬ ‭power‬ ‭dissipations.‬
‭These‬ ‭hypothetical‬ ‭results‬ ‭correspond‬ ‭closely‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬
‭experimental‬‭values‬‭obtained‬‭earlier,‬‭proving‬‭that‬‭Multisim‬
‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭used‬ ‭consistently‬ ‭for‬ ‭conducting‬ ‭circuit‬
‭performances.‬

‭Another‬‭very‬‭important‬‭point‬‭which‬‭was‬‭learned‬
i‭n‬ ‭this‬ ‭experiment‬ ‭is‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬ ‭relationships‬ ‭between‬
‭current,‬ ‭voltage‬ ‭and‬ ‭resistance‬ ‭are‬ ‭linear,‬ ‭which‬ ‭is‬
‭described‬ ‭by‬ ‭the‬ ‭Ohm‬ ‭Law.‬ ‭We‬ ‭manipulated‬ ‭the‬ ‭voltage‬
‭s upply‬ ‭and‬ ‭watched‬ ‭the‬ ‭current‬ ‭which‬ ‭came‬ ‭through‬ ‭a‬
‭typical‬ ‭resistive‬ ‭circuit,‬ ‭s uccessfully‬ ‭demonstrating‬ ‭the‬
‭s ame‬ ‭linear‬ ‭relationship.‬ ‭Such‬ ‭basic‬ ‭knowledge‬ ‭is‬ ‭very‬
‭critical‬‭when‬‭it‬‭comes‬‭to‬‭the‬‭construction‬‭and‬‭rectification‬
‭of circuits.‬

‭The‬‭experiment‬‭also‬‭revealed‬‭the‬‭need‬‭to‬‭manage‬
c‭ omponent‬ ‭ratings,‬ ‭more‬ ‭s o‬ ‭with‬ ‭regard‬ ‭to‬ ‭power‬ ‭loss.‬
‭The‬ ‭burnt-out‬ ‭lamp‬ ‭s erved‬ ‭as‬ ‭a‬ ‭clear‬ ‭example‬ ‭of‬ ‭what‬
‭happens‬ ‭when‬ ‭a‬ ‭certain‬ ‭power‬ ‭rating‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭device‬ ‭is‬
‭exceeded.‬ ‭This‬ ‭provides‬ ‭insight‬ ‭into‬ ‭the‬ ‭need‬‭for‬‭proper‬
‭circuit designing and analysis to prevent failures.‬

‭In‬ ‭the‬ ‭final‬ ‭analysis,‬ ‭Multisim‬ ‭provides‬‭a‬‭useful‬


‭ edium‬‭for‬‭carrying‬‭out‬‭real-life‬‭experiments‬‭and‬‭carrying‬
m
‭out‬ ‭theories.‬ ‭The‬ ‭knowledge‬ ‭of‬ ‭this‬ ‭tool‬ ‭enhances‬ ‭the‬
‭electrical‬ ‭engineers’‬ ‭ability‬ ‭to‬ ‭tackle‬ ‭challenges‬ ‭and‬
‭improve circuit designs within their capacity.‬
