Engineering Is the Simulation Accurate? Analyzing an Op Amp Circuit with Multisim

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around analyzing an op-amp circuit using Multisim and comparing simulated results with analytical calculations. The user solved a textbook problem and obtained specific current values for various components, including ia, ib, ic, ig, and is. Upon simulating the circuit in Multisim, discrepancies were noted in the current is, prompting questions about the accuracy of the simulation. The user provided their equations and calculations for clarity, ultimately expressing satisfaction after resolving the issue. The thread highlights the importance of verifying simulation results against analytical solutions in circuit analysis.

hi everyone ,

i solved a textbook question which says :

and found analytically : ia = -470 uA, ib = 770 uA , ic = 22 uA, ig= 322 uA, is = 64.5 uA

Ra= 1kohms, Rb=2kohms, Rc = 1.5 kohms, Rf= 210 kohms , Vo = 14.5 v

and i simulate it by using multisim as shown below :

the current (Is) looks different ! is there something wrong with simulation ? thanks : )

Please show your equations for the results you got.
 
ok ^^

Here is my solution :

=> Vn = 29/30 v and Vo = 14.5 v

=> I s = ( Vn - 0 ) / 15k = 64.44 uA

I a = ( Va - Vp ) / 1k = -466.67 uA

I b = (Vb - Vp ) / 2k = 766.67 uA

I c = ( Vc - Vp ) / 1.5k = 22.2 uA

I g = ( Vp - 0 ) / 3k = 322.2 uA
