AI Thread Summary
To modify PNP BJT voltages in Multisim 13, users are advised to simulate a standard 2N3904 BJT in a common emitter (CE) circuit to observe typical Vbe and Vce(sat) values, which should approximate the desired voltages of VEB=0.7V and VECsaturation=0.2V. Instead of altering the model directly, it is suggested to first understand the existing parameters through simulation. After conducting the simulation, users are encouraged to share their circuit designs and the reasons for wanting to modify the model. This approach helps in achieving accurate results without unnecessary modifications. Understanding the default characteristics of BJTs in simulation is crucial for effective circuit design.

Hi!
I want to simulate some circuits with PNP BJTs. I was given voltages VEB=0.7V and VECsaturation=0.2V so my question is how can I modify PNP BJT to use these voltages?

Don't. Just do a simple sim of a 2N3904 BJT in a CE circuit and look at what Vbe and Vce(sat) are. They will be close to the values you desire.

After that, post the circuit and why you want to modify the model.
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
