AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a beginner student at NHTI facing discrepancies between Multisim simulation results and actual lab measurements of voltage across resistors in a series circuit. The student initially questions their understanding of the voltage calculation formula, V = I * R, after obtaining inconsistent values. Upon further reflection, they realize they were making a mathematical error in their calculations. The student expresses relief at identifying the mistake and is open to further assistance and learning from the community. Overall, the thread highlights the importance of accurate calculations in circuit analysis and the value of peer support in educational settings.

hello all, i am a beginner student in this field at NHTI in concord NH , the problem i am having is that my multisim program measurements for a simple voltage point at a resistor is inconsistent with the actual measurement that i got in the lab...? why is this? is my math wrong? here i will give you an example... E or V = 24V through out the circuit and it is an In-Series circuit. I have 5 resistors to check voltage drop for. now my understanding to check the voltage for the resistor itself the formula looks like this V = (I) (R) ? no? now here are some numbers to crunch... R1 = 220ohms I=.010619, V should equal 23.3618... but that doesn't make sense. now when i try to find the voltage for that resistor on multisim using a voltmeter and a Multimeter it says 2.336V what am i doing wrong? this is making me annoyed?

oooooooooooooooooooooooopsss haha i was doing my math wrong DUH! wow... well hopefully everything else works alright... if you guys want you can make fun of me lol i don't mind... ill probably be using this site for referance anywayz... the more help the merrier

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
