Pspice Introduction


          This lab offered an introduction to using the program Pspice in order to create circuits, thus obtaining values of current and voltage electronically.The program is quite user friendly, where elements and wires could easily be placed, rotated, or adjusted as commanded. Values of elements can be changed by clicking on the specified elements, and having to add ground makes it practical to real world appliances. In the end, the circuit could be run as a simulation to obtain values of current and voltages wherever specified, as shown above.

         For the circuit below,we had to find the voltage drop across R1 and the total power being produced by VS. Using V=IR, the voltage drop through R1 was 8.66 Voltage. For VS, taking the difference of the two V values on both sides gives the V drop. Using P= VI, (P = (30)(5.118)), the power for VS was around 153.5V.
