Note# 1: The Multisim AC Power Source has the facility to choose RMS value (2.5 V) for the voltage in addition to the frequency and the phase of your choice.
Note# 2: You could choose any one frequency (1kHz, 2 kHz or 3 kHz) for the source from section A. The figure below shows source frequency as 1 kHz, for example.
