Circuit Theory Part 2: Simulation

In this assignment we used a Circuit Design Software to verify whether our values that we hand calculated from last part were correct.

Conclusion Questions:

1. 1. It should be obvious that using a CDS to analyze circuits is far easier than performing the calculations by hand. Yet, being able to perform these calculations by hand is still an important skill for a circuit designer. Why?

It is still important to be able to perform these calculations by hand because you probably won’t have access to these instruments all the time, therefore it’s important to know how to calculate them by hand.

1. 2. Using the results from step (2) of the procedure, verify Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law.

2.1804V + 5.5670 V + 1.2526 V = 9 V

1. 3. Using the results from step (5) of the procedure, verify Kirchhoff’s Current Law.

2.2222 mA + 600 uA + 1.8181 mA+ 731.71 uA = 5.37201mA
