Conclusion:

Multisim Software is a virtual circuit board that can be used in analysing various circuits. It has
variety of components that can be used from simple circuits to complex circuits. Components can be
placed by clicking the components icon at the upper left portion as seen in Figure 2. For easier access,
CTRL+W can be used. For the instruments, it is located under the simulation tab or at the right portion
of the screen. Just like the component, it has variety of instruments used for analysing and measuring
simple circuits to complex ones. In Figure 6 and Figure 7 all the instruments available in Multisim
Software. Instruments can be easily understood because it has labels in each pins and it functions the
same as the real instruments. In Figure 8, the students used multimeter to measure the voltage at the
output. The student used different components such as voltage source, switch, BJTs, Transistors, Voltage
Summer, and ground. The components and instruments can be connected by placing the cursor at the
pins, clicking it and dragging it at the components the students want to connect. For real life application,
Multisim can be used to check if the circuit that is to be created will function before buying any
materials. This will lessen the cost of the circuit project, since some of the components are expensive.
Multisim also has PCB layout that can be used for future circuit projects.
