ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY (EE-103-F)
EXPERIMENT NO. 2
AIM: TO VERIFY THEVENIN’S THEOREM.
APPARATUS: DC NETWORK EIT AND CONNECTING LEADS,
‘THEORY: THEVENIN'S THEOREM as applied to the dc nerwrark cht may’be stared as the
‘cunt flowing through a load resistance R, connected across any two terminals A and B of a
[near bilateral network is given by Wry. / Bic+Re where Vix is the open cht voltage and
‘eyjis the intemal resistance ofthe network froma terminal A to B with all volage sources
zeplaced with their intemal resistances and cuent sources with infinite resistance.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
|. To find the cuent Sowing droush the load resisiance R,_ as shown in fig. remove
‘Bom the ckt temporarily and leave the terminals A and B open circuited
2. Calculate the open ct voiaze Vz which appears across tenminal A and B.
Vine = LR
‘Thisis caled Thevenin’s volage.
Now calculate Ry =R; Rs (Ri-Rs. Ths is called Thevenin’s resistance
Calculate k= Wry. *Ra).

‘RESULT: THEVENIVS THEOREM has been verified.
DISCUSSION: tn Thovinin’s equivalent cicuit Thovenin’s equivalent voltages in series with,
‘Thevenin's resistance and the load resistance.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. Switch off the supply when not in use
2. Reading shoald be taken carefully.
3. All connections should be tight and correct.
