Title
EXPERIMENT: 2 Transient analysis of RC circuit

AIM :
To study the transient response of series RC circuit.
You will learn to model a first-order system and display measured
characteristics.
Requirements:
MultiSim software
Procedure:
Part A: Build the RC circuit in MultiSim :1. Create your simulation files. Start MultiSim 13.0 and click on it
2. Once the design window opens, click Place-> Component.
3. Under group, change the pull down to select all groups.
4. Type ground in the Component box and place the ground in the window by clicking OK.
5. From component window, again select RESISTOR_RATED and click OK to place it in
the window.
6. Again from component window select CAPACITOR_RATED and click OK to place it in
the window.
7. The place component window will then open up again and you should type DC_POWER
in the Component box, select DC_POWER and click OK to place the DC voltage source in
the window.
8. The place component window will then open up again and you should type SPDT in the
Component box, select SPDT and click OK to place the single pole double throw switch in
the window. Close the Component Window.

9. Double-click the capacitor and change the value to 1 . Double-click the resistor and
change the value to 100 . This yields a time constant for the system of = = (100)
(1 ) = 100 ms and the gain is K = 1. In order to change the gain, it would be necessary to
include more resistors.
10. Double click the DC voltage source and change the value to 5 V. Next use the mouse to
draw lines and connect the components to match Figure 2.1. Note that you can rotate the
components by selecting them and pressing CTRL-R.
11. Click place text and put a title in the workspace such as your name, the date, and circuit
title. Include a screenshot of this circuit in your lab memo submission.

Part B: Transient Analysis:-

1. Delete the function generator and oscilloscope from the circuit schematic. Change the
resistor to and the capacitor to . . This makes the time constant for the system, =
= (1 )(0.1) = 100 and the gain is still K = 1.
2. Place the component, PIECEWISE_LINEAR_VOLTAGE on the schematic and connect it
to the RC circuit as the input source.
4. Double-click the piecewise linear voltage source and note that you can either enter data
points from a file or enter them on a table. For this analysis, you will use the table. Change
the input to match Table 1.

Observations and Discussions:


as stated previous we obtain the knowldge how to use multisim to simulate the
operation of charging and discharging of the capacitor , and we know how to read
the result through the osilliscope so that we got the result as shown above which
clearly show the duration time of charging and discharging operation.

Questions:
Question 1:
The input to the circuit shown is the voltage of the voltage source (). The output is the voltage
across he capacitor, (). The input is the pulse signal specified graphically by the plot. Use MultiSim
to plot the output () as a function of t.

Question 2:
Consider the circuit shown down Assuming that the switch has been in position 1 for
a long time, at time =0 the switch is moved to position 2. Determine the voltage, ()
and plot the response.

Conclusions:

In this experiment we learnt about charging and discharging signal

How to show the signal and calculate the time periode and frequency

We found the output voltage
