Title: “Thevenin Theorem”
Objectives:
To experimentally evaluate the given circuit using Thevenin’s Theorem.
To Theoretically evaluate the given circuit using Thevenin’s Theorem.
To simulate the given circuit on Proteus.
To compare the values, yield from of all three methods and prove the validity
of Thevenin’s Theorem.
Equipment:
1) Breadboard
2) DMM
3) Probes
4) Voltage source
5) Resistors
Explanation:
Thevenin’s Theorem:
Any linear resistive one-port is equivalent to an ideal voltage source V oc in Series with a
resistance Req, where Voc and Req are, respectively, the open-circuit voltage and
equivalent resistance of the one-port.
LAB TASK:
THEORETICAL SOLUTION:
First, we remove the resistor across which we want to find the current.
10I+ 3.9I = 12
13.9I = 12
I = 12/13.9 = 0.86amp
Now to find Vth
Vth = IR
Vth = 0.866 x 10
Vth = 8.66V
For finding Rth we suppress all the sources.
Rth = 10x3.9/10.3.9
Rth = 39/13.9 = 2.86Kohms
Tsc = Vth/Req = 8.63/2.86 = 3.01amp
V2 = R2/(Rth+R2) x Vth = 6.075V
I2 = 6.075/R2 = 6.075/6.8 = 0.89337mA
EXPERIMENTAL SOLUTION:
V across RL = 6.00V
Vth = 8.55V
Ith = 2.99mA
I across RL = 0.88mA
PROTEUS SOULTION:
So, V across Rl = 6.11V
Vth = 8.63V
Ith = 3.08mA
I across RL = 0.9mA
CONCLUSION:
Thus, looking at all the values yield from all three methods the values only vary in a
small factor in points. Thus this shows that the Thevenin Theorem can be proven using
any of three methods solved above.
