Thevenin’s and Norton’s Equivalent Circuit Theorems and Maximum

Power Transfer Theory


Objectives:
 Verify Thevenin’s and Norton’s equivalent circuit theorems.
 Verify the maximum power transfer theorem.
 Recognize some of the qualitative behavior/trends of voltages and currents, and
power in electric circuits.
Pre-Lab:
I. Perform Pspice simulations and theoretical analysis for the circuit shown in Figure
1.
a) Find the voltage for each component, current through each branch and power
supplied/absorbed by each element.
b) Determine the open circuit voltage between point “a” and point “b”
c) Compare the voltage across

DISCUSSION:
In case of Open circuit between point a & b automatically all voltages drop across
Vab but as we connect the RLOAD=0Ω resistor between points ab the following
results appears for all voltages across resistors & branch currents . Similarly,
Voltage across R4 will more than RLoad because short circuit resistance has 0 ohm
resistance so minimum voltages drop across R load & maximum voltages drop across R4
because its value is much greater than Rload
II. Draw a new circuit to find Norton’s Equivalent Current ( I N = ISC ). For the new
circuit, use circuit from Figure 1, connect the points “a”, and point “b” using a
wire. The current flowing from point “a” to point “b” is the Norton’s Equivalent
Current ( IN = ISC ).

Solution: By using above formula we find that both theoretical & experimental values
are close to each other with small percentage difference less than 2% which is
acceptable.

iv. Determine the Thevenin’s and Norton’s equivalent resistance

short circuits and find the open circuit resistance between point “a” and point “b” which
is RTH.
