Iam simulating the circuit for maximum power transfer, which takes
place when internal resistance (RI) of the voltage source is equal to
the external load resistance (RL). For this Iam sweeping the value of
RL form 0 to 50 Ohms. When I simulate this circuit I get two errors
ERROR -- Resistor R_RL has zero value & INTERNAL ERROR -- Divide by
Zero in device R_RL, Divide(0)
Although simulation runs fine if value of RL is changed to 1 or so. If
I were to solve the circuit for RL = 0. I will do like this PL =
[V1/(RI + RL)]^2*RL = 0. Therefore power dissipated by load resistance
when RL = 0 is zero, so why no Pspice. Where is division by zero
taking place ? So I want to know which method is used by Pspice to
solve this circuit.
Thanks
