II. NI Multisim basics
NI Multisim is an electronic schematic capture and simulation program which is part of a suite of
circuit design programs, along with NI Ultiboard.
So, first register and create a new account at multisim.com.
Then this is the main layout of the program shown in Figure 2.

You can access the main toolbar shown in the left side of the layout.
To select the power supply sources, simply press the source icon shown in Figure 3 and then
choose the appropriate source.

Whenever you want to access the passive elements such as resistors, you can press the
resistor icon and the passive elements window shown in Figure 4 will be appeared and then
select the appropriate value and type.
Figure 4. Passive elements toolbar
For circuit element measuremen, you can access the measurement devices toolbar shown
in Figure 5.

To build the circuit, simply drag and drop the necessary circuit elements and connect them with
the connection wires, shown in Figure 6.

After building your circuit, you can easily simulate to test the correctness of your manual
calculation and measure the appropriate electric variables by pressing the simulation button
shown in Figure 7.

III. In-lab tasks
Task 1 (Voltage, circuit and power measurement). Build circuit below shown in Figure 8
and Figure 9 on your MultiSim breadboard. If you finish, ask instructor to check your circuit.
Get measurements of voltage and current on each element. Calculate the power on each element.
Which is active and which is passive?

For Resistor R1:
1. Calculate Current (I1): I1=V/R1 I1=5/1000 I1=0.005A

2. Calculate Power (P1): P1=V⋅I1 P1=5⋅0.005 P1=0.025Watt
For Resistor R2:
1. Calculate Current (I2): I2=V/ R2 I2=5/2000 I2=0.0025A

2. Calculate Power (P2): P2=V⋅I2 P2=5⋅0.0025 P2=0.0125Watt
Since this is a simple circuit with resistors in series, and there is no active
component like a battery or a voltage source other than the resistor network itself,
all elements (resistors) can be considered passive in this case.

Figure 9. Task 1 simple circuit with resistors in parallel
Req1=1/R2+1/R3 Req1=1/200+1/100 1/Req=3/200

Req=200/3Ω
Rtotal=R1+Req Rtotal=100+200/3 Rtotal≈166.67Ω
I=Vs/Rtotal=12/166,67=0.072A I≈0.072A
P1=I2⋅R1 P1=(0.072)2⋅100 P1≈0.0521Watt
VR2=I2⋅R2 VR2=0.072⋅200 VR2≈14.4V
P2=I2⋅VR2 P2=0.072⋅14.4 ≈1.0368Watt
VR3=I3⋅R3 VR3=0.072⋅100 VR3≈7.2V
P3=I3⋅VR3 P3=0.072⋅7.2 P3≈0.5184Watt
Since this is a passive circuit (no active components like batteries or voltage
sources), all resistors are passive.

Task 2 (Ohm’s law and it’s application):
1. Find equation for voltage across resistors shown in Figure 10 circuit. After you get
equation, substitute them 𝑅1 =1𝑘Ω,𝑅2 =1𝑘Ω and 𝑉𝑠 =10𝑉.
Rtotal=R1+R2=1000Ohm+1000Ohm=2000Ohm
I=V/R=10/2000=5*10^-3
V1=5V
V2=5V

2. Use KCL&KVL to get voltage across resistors in the following circuit shown in Figure
11. After you get equations, substitute them 𝑅1 =100𝑘𝛺,𝑅2 =200𝑘𝛺,𝑅3 =300𝑘𝛺 and 𝑉𝑠
=10𝑉.

Circuit Analysis:
1. Apply KCL at the Node between R1, R2, and R3: I1=I2+I3
2. Apply KVL to the Loop with Vs, R1, and R2 (in series): Vs=I1⋅(R1+R2)
3. Apply KVL to the Loop with R2 and R3 (in parallel): I2⋅R2=I3⋅R3
Solving the Equations:
1. KCL Equation: I1=I2+I3

2. KVL Equation for the First Loop:10=I1⋅(100+200)
3. KVL Equation for the Second Loop (Parallel Branch):I2⋅200=I3⋅300
Solution:
1. KCL Equation:I1=I2+I3
2. KVL Equation for the First Loop:10=I1⋅300I1=10/300 I1=1/30
3. KVL Equation for the Second Loop (Parallel Branch):I2⋅200=I3⋅300 301⋅200=I3
⋅300 I3=2/3*1/30 I3=1/45
4. Calculate I2: I2=I1−I3 I2=1/30-1/45 I2=1/90
Calculate Voltages:
Now, use Ohm's Law to find the voltage across each resistor:
 Voltage across R1: VR1=I1⋅R1

9
Substitute the values:
 VR1=1/30⋅100kΩ=100/30V=3.33V
 VR2=1/90⋅200kΩ=200/90V=2.22V
 VR3=1/45⋅300kΩ=300/45V=6.67V
