542. Creating and Simulating Circuits in PSpice

1. What is the first step in creating a circuit in PSpice?

Run the simulation without any components
Assign voltage values
Generate a netlist automatically
Select components and place them on the schematic

2. How are components represented in a PSpice circuit?

As text labels
As 3D models
As graphical symbols
As numeric codes

3. What is the purpose of a netlist in PSpice?

To define the components and their connections
To generate the final report after simulation
To show a graphical layout of the circuit
To compile the simulation results

4. Which of the following is required to run a simulation in PSpice?

A completed circuit schematic
Only the power supply values
A detailed manual for each component
The simulation results

5. In PSpice, how do you run a simulation after creating a circuit?

Click the "Simulate" button in the toolbar
Open the netlist and compile it
Connect the circuit to an oscilloscope
Manually enter all component parameters

6. What information can be obtained from a PSpice simulation?

The physical dimensions of components
Voltage, current, and power waveforms
The optimal layout of the circuit
The source code for the circuit

7. What type of analysis is most commonly used in PSpice for analyzing the transient response of a circuit?

AC analysis
Parametric analysis
DC sweep analysis
Transient analysis

8. How can you observe the results of a simulation in PSpice?

By printing the circuit schematic
By manually analyzing the components
By viewing a tabular data format
By generating a graphical waveform plot

9. What is a common troubleshooting technique in PSpice when a simulation does not work?

Restart the software
Replace all components with new ones
Increase the simulation time
Check the component connections and values

10. What is the effect of using incorrect component values in PSpice simulations?

It will automatically correct the circuit
It will cause the software to crash
It may lead to inaccurate simulation results
It will have no effect on the results
