Series L/R and RC Circuits

1. Watch the video

. Week 6 Video Lecture – Multisim Series RL

· Construct the series L/R and RC circuits from this week’s assignment in MultiSIM and perform Transient Analysis on each circuit to confirm your calculations. Use a 5% tolerance for all of the components. Capture a screenshot of the output of the analysis to confirm your calculations. Create a table to demonstrate your expected and measured values.

· Include a discussion of the following:

c. Differences between the calculations and the simulations.

c. How would you go about designing a circuit with an applied voltage of 24V and a resistor of 1kohms such that the current in the circuit starts out at 0A and reaches 24mA in 2 seconds?

c. How would you go about designing a circuit with an applied voltage of 24V and a resistor of 1kohms such that voltage starts out at 0V and reaches 24V in 2 seconds?

Include all calculations, your table, screenshots of the analysis, and answers to the discussion questions in part 3 in a word processing document and submit as EE115W6LabYourGID.docx, or an equivalent word processing file extension.
