This document describes using PSpice software to simulate and analyze an electric circuit. It defines the circuit components in a PSpice code, runs the simulation while sweeping the voltage source, and extracts current and voltage values at different nodes. The results match analytical calculations and demonstrate Ohm's law, showing the currents changing linearly with voltage. The document concludes that PSpice accurately simulates circuits with just a few lines of code.

Engineering Faculty Practice No. 2: Circuit Simulation with PSpice Cuy D., Isaac S., Mitz E. Abstract Due to development of helpful circuits who require a high complexity level and a large control of the variables, PSpice is an appropriate software for analysis and measurement of dicult circuits and devices. This powerful tool, used by professionals who need to manipulate electric and electronic circuits, will be used to analyze a given circuit. 1 Objectives I. Introduce to the PSpice management as a circuit analysis tool. 2 Introduction In the development of this practice, it will be used the software PSpice as introduction of circuits simulation and analysis. It will be simulated the current, voltage and electric power on a resistive circuit given by the Figure 1 ( used in Practice 1) to compare the simulated and experimental values. 3 Development Figure 1: Diagram of used circuit. Based on the circuit shown in gure 1,rst we need to dene the nodes for PSpice code and these are repre- sented by the blue numbers. The table 1 describes the elements of the code (at frame 1) and their function. This shows the reason of each statement at the code. * Practice 2.

Statements on PSpice for the circuit. Table 1: Description of utilized statements Statement Description V. Source Syntax: [Name variable, initial V] [Node +] [Node -] [Value] Resistor Syntax: [Name variable, initial R] [Node +] [Node - [Value] .op Give the voltage in every node (ex- cept the reference node), the current in the sources independent and total power dissipation. .dc Sweep the voltage of a designate source. It have to established the source, start value, nal value and increment, in the respective order. .print Print the designate current or volt- age established. .probe Display a window to graph the cho- sen variables and save all the data in a .dat le. . 2 On the rst lines of the code, we declare a DC source with the statement Vin 1 0 dc 10. The Vin represents the name of the source; the next two num- bers are the nodes to which the source is connected; dc 10 means it is a 10 volt DC source. Next, the resistances are declared similarly of DC source Vin. First we have the name, then the nodes of the resistance and last their values. Finally we have the output parameters congu- ration, in which we vary the source voltage (.dc) then we get the current in each resistor (.print) and plot the current versus dierent voltage values (.probe).

Node number Voltage (V) 1 10.0000 2 7.8047 3 7.4227 4 6.8702 Total Power Dissipation: P T = 14.6mW The results are exactly the same as analytic values. As seen in table 2, the current through resistors versus voltage source change varies linearly, as Ohms law says. Figure 2: Currents vs Voltage change. As it can observe in gure 2, the currents through the resistors 1, 2, 3 and 4 varies linearly versus the voltage change, proving the linearity property of Ohms law. 4 Conclusions It was proved that with a few statements, PSpice can easily obtain the required values. Also it was shown the accuracy of the software com- paring with analytic results. In addition it was proved the linearity of Ohms law using the graph of current versus voltage. 5 References [1.] E.
