Circuit Diagram:

Discussion and Analysis:

By doing this experiment we have been able to simulate our circuits via PSpice and test
the results. Previously we had tested our circuits practically, but this is more efficient.
 Answer of Post Lab Questions
1. Theoretically calculate all the currents and the voltages for the circuit.
Solution:

From the figure,

I s = i1
Vab = 8i2
KVL at Super-mesh,
-10 + 8i1 + 0.5Is + 20i2 + 8i2 = 0
-10 + 8i1 + 0.5I1 + 20i2 + 8i2 = 0 [∵ I s=i 1]
8.5i1 + 28i2 = 10 ------------------(1)
And,
i2 - i1 = 0.5Vab
i2 - i1 = 0.5× 8i2 [∵ V ab=8 i 2]
i1 +3i2 = 0 ----------------- (2)
Solving equation (1) and (2), we get,
 i1 = -12A, i2 = 4A
So,
i0 = i2 – i1 = 4 – (-12) = 4 + 12 = 16A

Now, Voltage at Node 1,

V1 = 10V
Voltage at Node 2,
KCL at Node 2,
V 2−10 V 2−0.5 I s
- 16 + =0
8 28
V 2 10 V 2 0.5 ×(−12)
- - 16 + - =0 [∵ I s=i 1=−12 A]
8 8 28 8
9 V 2 477
=
56 28
∴ V2 = 106V

Voltage at Node 3,
V3 = (4 × 28) = 112V [∵ i2=4 A∧R=(20+8)Ω]
Voltage at Node 4,

V4 = + (4 × 8) = 32V [∵ i2=4 A∧R=8 Ω]

Voltage at Node 5,

V5 = - (16 × 20) = -320V [∵ i0=16 A∧R=(16+ 4)Ω]

Voltage at Point 6:

V6 = - (16 × 4) = -64V [∵ i0=16 A∧R=4 Ω]
