Results:

We have to calculate the equivalent resistance between A and B.

Theoretical Calculations:

From Fig. 1, we can calculate the theoretical value of equivalent resistance.

Req = {(220+270)-1 +330-1}-1 +1000+470 =1667.195122Ω

Simulation:

By simulating the circuit,we find the current going through the voltage source is 2.999mA. The
voltage difference between Node A to B is 5Vdc.

Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to introduce Ohm's law to the students and verify Ohm's law
using Capture CIS and PSpice A/D programs of Orcad 9.2 software.

Ohm's Law: At any constant temperature the current through any conductor is directly
proportional to the voltage across it.
If the voltage is represented by V and current by I then according to Ohm's law:
V∝I
Or, V = IR
Where, R is a constant and it is the resistance of the conductor.

Discussion:

In Figure 8, we find a straight line in the I versus V graph, which indicates the linear

relationship among voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit, and verifies the Ohm’s Law
as well.

Besides, both the theoretical and simulation values match with each other. So it can be said that,
the simulation was successfully conducted.
