4. Create a table similar to the one below to show the power dissipated by each resistor, then the percent difference between the actual and simulated.
Power (W) Mesh Analysis
Power (W) Nodal Analysis
Power (W) Simulation
Percent Diff (calc vs sim)
Resistor (Value) Rload (7 Ω) R1 (4 Ω) R2 (8 Ω) R3 (4.5 Ω)
5. Determine the value of R_LOAD for maximum load power by creating a proper plot. Determine the value of the maximum power available at terminals a-b. Explain how you obtained these values.
