2. Use Multisim Schematics to create the circuit in Figure 3. Assign the resistor R₂ value based on your calculations in
previous step. Run the simulation to obtain the DC voltage at terminals VA and VB. Compare the values with the
calculated voltages in previous step. Are they identical? Take a screenshot of your Multisim circuit schematic,
showing the voltage values, and include it to your lab report.
