This document describes an experiment to verify Thevenin's and Norton's theorems. Thevenin's theorem states that any linear bilateral network can be reduced to a single voltage source in series with a resistance. To verify this theorem, the open circuit voltage and equivalent resistance are measured. Norton's theorem states that any linear bilateral network can be reduced to a current source in parallel with a resistance. To verify this, the short circuit current and equivalent resistance are measured. The experimental results are recorded and compared to theoretical values. Verifying both theorems, the document concludes they are applicable to the given network.
