    The document describes an experiment to verify Thevenin's theorem in a DC circuit. The objectives are to verify that any linear circuit can be represented by an equivalent circuit of a voltage source in series with a resistance. The experiment connects resistors and a power supply in a circuit and uses Thevenin's theorem to calculate the equivalent voltage Vth and resistance Rth. It then confirms the calculations by measuring the actual circuit and comparing the results to those of the equivalent circuit, finding them to be nearly equal. The conclusion is that Thevenin's theorem has been verified by the experiment.

    EXPERIMENT NO 8

    To verify Thevenin’s theorem in a DC network.


    Objectives:
    To verify Thevenin Theorem. Its provides a technique for replacing a given network, as
    viewed from two terminals, by a single voltage source with a series resistance.

    Apparatus:
     DC power supply
     DMM
     Resistors: 1k, 3k, 6.2k.
     Connecting wires

    Theory:
    Thevenin’s Theorem states that
    “Any linear circuit containing several voltages and resistances can be replaced by just one
    single voltage in series with a single resistance connected across the load.”
    In other words, it is possible to simplify any electrical circuit, no matter how complex, to
    an equivalent two-terminal circuit with just a single constant voltage source in series with a
    resistance (or impedance) connected to a load.
    In electrical circuit theory, Thevenin’s theorem for linear electrical networks states that any
    combination of voltage sources, current sources and resistors with two terminals is electrically
    equivalent to a single voltage source V and a single series resistor R. For single frequency AC
    systems, the theorem can also be applied to general impedances, not just resistors. Any complex
    network can be reduced to a Thevenin's equivalent circuit consist of a single voltage source and
    series resistance connected to a load.
    Thevenin’s Theorem is especially useful in the circuit analysis of power or battery systems
    and other interconnected resistive circuits where it will influence the adjoining part of the circuit.
    Circuit Diagram:
    Procedure:
     For the circuit as shown in the figure, use Thevenin’s theorem to calculate the values of
    Vth and Rth and record them in table.
    Vth = (R2/R1+R2) * Vin
    Rth = R3 + (R1*R2/R1+R2)

     Measure the open circuit voltage and record this as Vt under the measured column.
     Replace the source with a short circuit, and measure the resistance between the terminals
    A and B. Record this as R1b.
     Calculate the voltage across and current through a 3k load that is to be placed across the
    terminals A and B. Compare the calculations for both the actual circuit and the Thevenin’s
    equivalent. The result should be identical
    Vth = RL/ (RL+Rth)
    IL = (Vth/RL+Rth) * Vth

     Connect a 3k load to the terminal A and B of the circuit in a fig a. Measure the resulting
    load current and record them.
     Construct the circuit of fig b. with the calculated values of Vth and Rth. Connect a 3k
    load to the terminals A and B. Measure the resulting load current and voltage, and record
    them. They should agree closely with those in the adjacent columns.

    Calculations:

    Thevenin’s parameter
    Calculated Measured
    Vth=8.73V Vth=8.75V
    Rth=4.13 kΩ Rth= 4.14kΩ
    Loaded circuit parameters
    Calculated (node or mesh Actual circuit Thevenin’s
    analysis) (multimeter) equivalent
    IL=10.28mA IL=10.28mA IL=10.28mA
    VL=8.73V VL=8.75V VL=8.75V

    RESULT:
    The value of the Thevenin theorem is nearly equal to the observed value. So, the
    Thevenin theorem is verified.
