3. Summary:
The error percentage in the simulated experiment is 0%. This may be a result of the ideality of the components that are simulated in Multisim. The components have computergenerated values that are 100% accurate, a phenomenon that cannot be accomplished in reality. Another effect of the simulated experiment is that there is no voltage clipping of the output signals no matter how much the input signal is increased in terms of amplitude, which is electronically incorrect according to load line characteristics of the transistor. The frequency of the input signal was also increased to witness the signal distortion which did not happen either. These points address the Multisim as a software, but not the actual electronic experiment. Hopefully in later editions of the software these parameters will be taken into account. The experiment has to be conducted in reality to witness the clipping and distortion of the output signal and also to witness the true measured values and check the accuracy of the circuit. All voltage and current values measured using Multimeter generate the values in rms values by default, these values have been changed to Peak-to-Peak values before they were used in further computations.
