    • Activity 5E - Practical: Capacitors and Inductors Simulation

      What

      In this practical, you are going to be using MultisimLive to simulate working with capacitors and inductors.

      Note: please pay particular attention to the safety warnings in all of the practical videos. These are for your own safety and the safety of those around you.

      How

      1. Download a copy of the worksheet for the capacitors and inductors simulation practical (click to download). You will need to record the results of your practical experiment in the spaces provided in this sheet then use them for your assessment.
      2. Follow along with the steps in the video below to complete the practical exercise. Remember to record your results on the worksheet.
