RC Circuits in Multisim
This week's lab is based on the application of circuit analysis techniques to evaluate an RC circuit in Multisim.
- Watch video lecture entitled "Week 4 - RC Circuit in Multisim".
- Work Practice Problem 8.13 from Chapter 8 to determine the capacitor voltage 'V' for t >0 and record the value in the table.

- Construct Figure 8.46 from Chapter 8 in Multisim.
- Run simulation to measure the voltage across the capacitor 'V' (Use 5% tolerances for each of the resistors)
- Take the screen capture for the measurements for 'V'.
- Answer the following questions:
- Are the measured values same as calculated values? If not, explain why they are different?
- What is the circuit time constant 'τ'?
- Is 'V' a natural, forced or complete response? Explain why?
- Create a new word document called "Lab4_StudentID.docx" with your GID substituted into the file name.
- Save the analysis from step 2 and simulation results from step 3 along with the table and screen captures of all the measurements. Make sure to answer the questions in step 4.
- Upload file "Lab4_StudentID".
