Electric Circuits: Lab Manual Experiment No 7

This document describes Experiment No. 7 which aims to verify the Maximum Power Transfer theorem. The key points are: 1. The experiment uses a circuit with a variable power supply, resistors, and a multimeter to measure voltage, current and resistance. The goal is to maximize power transferred from the source to the load. 2. The Maximum Power Transfer theorem states that maximum power will be delivered when the load resistance equals the total resistance seen from the output. 3. Students are instructed to set up the circuit and measure load voltage and current across resistors of varying values. They will calculate load power and complete a table comparing measured and calculated values.

Experiment No 7
To verify the Maximum Power Transfer theorem
Objective:
In this experiment we will be able to achieve following advantages
1. Hands on experience to implement a practical DC electric circuit on a breadboard.
2. To use the variable power supply to adjust any value of voltage and current limit.
3. To use a multi-meter to measure voltage, current and resistance.
4. To verify maximum power transfer theorem

Apparatus:

Resistors (of 1k or color code value equal to or greater than 10 k available in the Lab)
Breadboard
Multi-meter

Theoretical Background
Maximum Power Transfer theorem
According to the maximum power transfer theorem:
Maximum power will be delivered from a source to a load when the load resistance is equal to the
resistance of the network as viewed from the output /load terminals i.e.
Total resistance of the network = Resistance of the load
Percentage Power Efficiency
Percentage power efficiency for a circuit shown in Fig.1 will be given by

Or
If RL >> RS, RS 0, % Efficiency 100%
If RL << RS, RL 0, % Efficiency 0
If RL = RS, % Efficiency = 50%
This result is quite expected because the efficiency at maximum power transfer is 50% as one-half
of the total power generated is dissipated in the total resistance of the network.
Laboratory Tasks
1. Calculate Power dissipated (P), load voltage (V) and load current (I) for each value of the
resistances given in the Table 1 for circuit of Fig. 1.
1. Setup the circuit of Fig.1 with source voltage VS=10V and RS=3k. For each value of
resistances given in Table 1 measure and record the load voltage (V L) and load current (IL).
From this calculate the load power (PL). Complete the table with the measured data.
2. Compare the measured with calculated values in Table 1 by plotting a graph of load power
(PL) versus load resistance (RL) from the measured and calculated data.
