How to use Multisim in AC circuit analysis?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on using Multisim for AC circuit analysis, specifically measuring voltage, current, impedance, and phase relationships. The user reports discrepancies in their results, noting that the displayed current appears to be reduced by a factor of 100. The circuit setup includes a voltage source of 100V and a total impedance of 21.54k ohms, leading to an expected current magnitude of approximately 4.65mA, rather than the observed 46.42µA. This indicates a potential error in the simulation settings or measurement interpretation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AC circuit fundamentals
  • Familiarity with Multisim software
  • Knowledge of impedance calculations
  • Basic principles of voltage and current measurement
NEXT STEPS
  • Review Multisim AC analysis settings and configurations
  • Learn about impedance measurement techniques in AC circuits
  • Investigate common errors in circuit simulations
  • Explore the relationship between voltage, current, and impedance using Ohm's Law
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone involved in AC circuit analysis using simulation tools like Multisim.

I'm trying to use single ac frequency analysis to measure voltage, current, impedance and phases stuff... But the current result displayed seem like decreased by 100 times??

From the screen shot above, the Vsource is 100v, magnitude of the total impedance is 21.54k ohms and the total current magnitude is 46.42u.

But if i try to multiples the Total Z and total I, i get 0.999, it suppose to be 100 or 99.9...
