Does anyone know why some currents like 8 pico amps show up in the simulation?

I was simulating a wheatstone bridge in school lab with PSPICE, and one branch had this current.

8 picoamps is an allowable current for a Wheatstone bridge. Why don't you post you schematic so we can understand why you are mystified?

 

Here's the circuit, but this time simulated with Multisim. It has the same 8 pico amps.

I guess I wasn't clear in my initial post. The voltage difference across R2 is 0V, yet there is some current flow. This 8 pA isn't ruining my life, I'm just curious why the simulation calculates it.

 

Switch to LTspice.

It says the current is zero. Zilch. Nada.

 

I just downloaded it. I think I need to RTFM. I was having trouble simulating a depending source.

Is this related to the circuit you posted? It has no dependent sources.

 

Oh sorry, no it's not. It was another homework assignment.

Let us know if you're having trouble with a dependent source in LTspice.
