Using Multisim, create the circuit of Figure 17–17 on your screen. (For the source, use the voltage source from Power Components.) Define the parallel RLC combination as the “load.” Add an ammeter and a wattmeter to measure load current and load power. Using your calculator, compute the resistance of the heater, the inductance of the coil, and the capacitance of the capacitor, then set these values on your Multisim circuit. Run a simulation and measure load current, power, and power factor. Using the measured values, compute QT. Using the applied voltage and the measured current, compute apparent power. Compare these values of QT and ST to the values determined in Example 17–6.
