    Guidance Pspice
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a beginner seeking guidance on using PSpice for circuit analysis, specifically to determine the voltage and power on resistor R1. The user has basic knowledge of placing components and wiring but is unsure how to proceed with analysis. Key advice includes correcting the wiring of the voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS) and setting its gain property. Additionally, inserting voltage and current probes for measurements is recommended, along with applying standard analysis techniques for comparison with PSpice results. Overall, the focus is on learning to effectively use PSpice for circuit analysis.

Hello I am new at pspice and actually i know only how to place parts and wire them..
this is the circut

and this is what i did so far

i need to know the voltage and the power on R1.
i don't really know where should i start :/
thx.

Is your question regarding how to use pspice or are you just trying to answer a circuit analysis question (and perhaps thought using pspice would be simpler than thinking about the circuit for a moment :wink:)?

If the former, your VCVS is wired backwards.

im trying to learn how to use pspice actually :]
i have a course with a final project at the end of the semester..

do i need to define the voltage source as a variable or somthing?
and what about R1 is there any definition i should do?
 
Make the correction to the VCVS (the input and output terminal wiring should be swapped). Double-click (or something) the VCVS symbol to set the gain property to what you want. That's pretty much all I can suggest. I suppose you can insert voltage, current probes at appropriate places to make measurements, etc. Answer the question using standard analysis techniques so you can compare with the pspice results.
 
thx!
