Increasing the use of technology so that it is very much needed in physics learning at the Polytechnic of Maritime Sciences on electrical circuit material. This study aims to measure and characterize I-V currents in an electrical circuit by comparison with laboratories and multisim applications. Research activities were carried out using the I-V Current and Voltage comparison analysis method using theory in the manual formula, practice with the circuit kit, and NI Multisim simulation by building a circuit scheme on circuit composition namely resistance, voltage source, and using voltage measuring instruments and current measuring instruments which are all regulated in such a way concerning the theory of electric circuits. The results of this study are that there is a difference in the total resistance value between the values in the circuit kit module practice with the use of Multisim. But the difference is very slight with an error of about 1% for series circuits, and about 4.4% for parallel circuits. Voltage values in series circuits using NI Multisim circuit kits and applications have differences with errors ranging from 0 to 3.3 %. The comparison of the voltage values in direct measurements of the circuit kit and the NI Multisim simulation has the lowest error of 0% and the highest of 20% at the 6V source in R2. Keywords electrical circuit, Ni-Multisim, current, voltage INTRODUCTION Information Technology and Communication have become primary needs for all people. The utilization of Information and Communication Technology has an impact on processes and activities that can be carried out more quickly, easily, and efficiently (Roza, Ananda, Siregar, Nasution, & Yanie, 2021). Therefore the use of software must also be further developed, several types of which are proteus applications, NI Multisim, Live Wire, Electronic Workbench, etc. The multi-sim application is an application that can run specific programs on electrical circuits, and this application is produced by National Instruments Inc. In this application, you can easily observe the symptoms that occur in an electric circuit through simulations to carry out accurate and specific measurement tests (Ridwan & Kembuan, 2021). Increasing the use of technology so that it is very much needed in learning physics at the Polytechnic of Shipping Sciences on electrical circuit material. This course requires current and voltage analysis in a circuit in general such as series- parallel and the use of Khirchoff's law. understanding of learning theory is still carried out manually Research Paper
