EXPERIMENT 7

Network Theorems in AC Circuits

Objective
To verify Thevenin’s, Norton’s and Superposition Theorem practically.

1 Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorem

100Ω A 100Ω B 50Ω C

50 Hz

Figure 1: Network 1

Procedure
1. Measure open circuit voltage at CG by removing the 150Ω resistor in the
network of Fig. 1.
2. Now, short CG by a wire and measure current through the shorted wire.

3. Replace the shorted wire with a known resistance and measure the current
through it.
4. Verify the Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorem using the data 1, 2 and 3.
5. Test the same for any other circuit and verify.

2 Superposition Theorem
Procedure
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 and measure currents i1
and i2 respectively.
