V1

To solve the RC series circuit excited by an alternating sinusoidal voltage in PSpice, we need to run a time domain (transient) simulation.

Steps:

2. • A capacitor (C1) with C=5uF

3. Connect the components in series, with the voltage source at the top and the capacitor at the bottom.

1. Open the PSpice Probe window.

2. Add the traces V(C1:1, C1:2) and I(R2) to the plot.

3. Click the "Add" button to add the trace to the plot.

4. Click the "Run" button to update the plot.

1. Add the traces P(I(R2)) and P(V(V1:+)) to the PSpice Probe plot.

2. Click the "Run" button to update the plot.

Conclusion:

To solve the RC series circuit excited by an alternating sinusoidal voltage in PSpice, we need to run a time domain (transient) simulation. We can then use the PSpice Probe window to view the voltage across the capacitor, the total current in the circuit, the variation of capacitive reactance with frequency, and the phase difference between current and voltage.
