It took a little bit of trickery to get SPICE working as we would like on this circuit (installing
dummy" voltage sources in each branch to obtain current ¯gures and installing the dummy"
resistor in the inductor branch to prevent a direct inductor-to-voltage source loop, which SPICE
cannot tolerate), but we did get the proper readings. Even more than that, by installing the dummy
voltage sources (current meters) in the proper directions, we were able to avoid that idiosyncrasy of
SPICE of printing current fiigures 180o out of phase. This way, our current phase readings came out
to exactly match our hand calculations.
