Homework Statement
The main problem is that I need help using Multisim for transient analysis of a simple LC parallell circuit. I am doing something wrong.
C= 3*10^-5 F
L= 3*10^-3 H
The Capacitor is charged to 10V
What happens to the energy of the capacitor when we connect it in parallel with the inductor. Trace the voltage of the parallel connection and the current of the inductor until about 2ms after connecting.
Use Simulink.
Homework Equations
T=2*pi*sqrt(LC) = 1.89 ms
f= 1/T = 1/(2*pi*sqrt(LC)) = 531 Hz
The Attempt at a Solution
I have created this circuit:
I suspect something is wrong already here, because the program will not let me rename nets.
"Preferred net name cannot be modified when a global connector is in connection to the net."
I go to:
Simulate->Analyses->Transient Analysis
I set the stop time to about 5 periods. 0.01s.
Now.. why is there no voltage variable for either component?
I add I(L1) and simulate.
Can somebody please point out where I am going wrong..? I am sure there are multiple mistakes, I am not too good with Multisim yet.
