Electrical – having trouble finding phase angle on Pspice

circuit analysisdiodesorcadpspicevoltage

The only issues I can see is that my circuit contains a parameter called AC from the AC voltage supply, whereas the one in the example does not ! I don't know how it would work without AC voltage though.

I have used this method of testing for phase angle before, using the total current at the start of the first resistor, and using v+ and V- measurements of the source, in order to compare the two. So I can't see how it is not working this time !

Please if someone could shed some light on this and give me some insights into how to do this is would be very grateful as I have spent a long long time trying to complete this question and others with no avail !

EDIT

Here is the information I have been using :

I have been asked to use time domain (transient) in order to make the analysis, so have been following the instruction to the letter as far as I'm aware, but can't seem to solve the issue, thank you for already explaining that the AC Parameter will not make a difference.

I just did this and got a reasonable result. One problem though, Pspice ploted the current and the voltage on the same axis. Since the amplitude of the voltage is 10 and the amplitude of the current is 4mA, the current looks like a flat line. You can either select the current and multiply it by 1000 or plot it on a separate Y axis.
