What do you mean?
It's easy to plot the power dissipated by a load, just set the trace expression to (V(nXXXX)-V(nXXXX))*I(Load)
V(nXXXX) are the nodes at either side of the load.
what i mean is that; i want to vary the value of R load and plot the power dissipated to load resistance. hence be able to see the maximum power dissipated to the load.
ok?
hi t,
Is this what you are asking.?
hi eric,
ok, i'm using PSpice now.
actually what i was thinking is this (if i'm right, ok?);
looking at the circuit below, RL (or R9) will dissipate maximum power when equals to thervenin resistance( which equals 230.8k if i'm correct).
i was expecting power to increase till R9= 230.8k then decrease afterwards.
am i right? if yes, why isn't the case here looking at the plot.
hi t,
Please post your asc file.
hi, eric
i think i've got it.
i've created RL as a global parameter.
isn't what i should expect?
hi t,
Please post your asc file, in that way I can compare your results without having to build the sim.
I would suggest that you look in spice tools menu and change the plot background colour to white , also make the plot lines wide/thick.
Eric, he's using Pspice now. I suspect that's why he can't find the .ASC file.
