Abstract
This experiment aimed to situate the students and teach them the basic techniques of
Multisim. The objectives included that by the end of the lab students will be able to create simple
electrical circuits, perform basic simulations and analyzed the circuit behavior. This was done by
using three different circuits to demonstrate the different ways you can use Multisim.
Additionally, three different methods were introduced to analyze circuit behavior. These
methods include DC Operating Point, Operating Point, and Interactive analysis. Furthermore,
throughout the experiment we learned that though these methods are different, they each give the
same results. This report shows the outcomes of the three circuits using the methods discussed
during the lab.

Procedure
We will start by explaining in detail how one may get different components, then how to edit
those components and finally how to connect them.
