    This document describes an electronics lab experiment on applying Thevenin's theorem to analyze resistive circuits. The objectives are to use Thevenin's concept to calculate the current passing through a load resistance in a given circuit and verify it matches the current in the Thevenin equivalent circuit. The procedure involves constructing the original circuit, measuring voltages and currents, then deriving the Thevenin equivalent voltage and resistance and reconstructing the circuit to compare measurements.

    Objectives
    On completion of this experiment the student should be able to:
     Apply Thevenin concept on a resistive network.
     Calculate the current passing in the load resistance in a circuit and verify that it is
    equal to the value of the current passing through the load of the Thevenin equivalent
    circuit.

    Introduction
    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.. 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.

    To calculate the equivalent circuit, one needs a resistance and some voltage - two
    unknowns. Thus two equations are needed. These two equations are usually obtained by
    using the following steps
     
    1. Calculate the output voltage, VAB, when in open circuit condition (no load resistor - meaning
    infinite resistance). This is VTh.

    2. RTh is found by having the voltage source short circuited and the current source opened. The
    load resistance (RL) is kept zero.

    3. After RTh and VTh are obtained, both are placed in series with R L and the resultant current is
    measured.

    Apparatus
    1. NI Elvis with Prototyping Board
    2. Resistors
    3. DMM
    4. Set of connecting wires
    5. Set of jumper cables/wires (if necessary)

    5. Switch off the power supply and disconnect the load resistor from the circuit.
    6. Turn on the power supply and measure the voltage between A & B terminals which is
    VTH. Refer to figure 2. Record your measurements in table 1.

    value in table 1.
