EXPERIMENT No. 1
Objective:
To verify Thevenin’s theorem in DC Netwrok.

Apparatus:
o DC Power Supply (0-30V)
o Multimeter
o Resistors

Circuit Diagram:

Theory:

Thevenin's Theorem is used to simplify the analysis of complex network into a standard equivalent
network. Suppose that a complex network consists of number of sources and resistors connected in any
manner, then according to this theorem,
“Any network can be replaced by a single source Vth in series with a single resistance Rth.”
Vth or Voc is the open-circuit voltage across the terminals A and B i.e. find the voltage that the network
produces across the two terminals with an open-circuit between A and B. This voltage is called the
Thevenin Equivalent Voltage. Rth is the open-circuit resistance across the terminals A and B but with all
the sources killed in the network. This resistance is called the Thevenin Equivalent Resistance. For R th,
voltage sources are replaced by short circuit and current sources are replaced by open circuit.
The output of the Thevenin and actual circuits is the same. This condition is called the Terminal
Equivalency from the viewpoint of the Two Output Terminals. Although Thevenin Equivalent circuit is
not the same as its original network, it acts as same in terms of the output voltage and current.

EXPERIMENT No. 2

Objective:
To design inverting and non-inverting amplifier using IC LM 741.

Apparatus:
o LM 741
o Resistors
o DC Power Supply
o Multimeter
o Oscilloscope

Theory:
OP-AMP:
An operational amplifier, or op-amp for short, is fundamentally a voltage amplifying device designed to
be used with external feedback components such as resistors and capacitors between its output and input
terminals. We can connect external resistors or capacitors to the op-amp in a number of different ways to
form basic building Block circuits such as, Inverting, Non-Inverting, Voltage Follower, Summing,
Differential, Integrator and Differentiator type amplifiers.
Operational amplifiers are available in IC packages of either single, dual or quad op-amps within one
single device. The most commonly available and used of all operational amplifiers in basic electronic kits
and projects is the industry standard μA-741.

Non-inverting amplifier:
An op-amp connected in a closed-loop configuration as a non-inverting amplifier with a controlled amount
of voltage gain is shown in figure.

Figure 2.2 Non-inverting amplifier


The input signal is applied to the non-inverting (+) input. The output is applied back to the inverting (-)
input through the feedback circuit (closed loop) formed by the input resistor R1 and the feedback resistor
Rf. This creates –ve feedback as follows. Resistors R1 and Rf form a voltage-divider circuit, which reduces
VO and connects the reduced voltage Vf to the inverting input. The feedback is expressed as:

𝑹𝟏
𝑽𝒇 = ( )𝑽
𝑹𝟏 + 𝑹 𝒇 °
The difference of the input voltage, Vin and the feedback voltage, Vf is the differential input of the op-
amp. This differential voltage is amplified by the gain of the op-amp and produces an output voltage
expressed as
𝑹𝒇
𝑽° = (𝟏 + ) 𝑽𝒊𝒏
𝑹𝟏
The closed-loop gain of the non-inverting amplifier is, thus
𝑹𝒇
𝑨𝑪𝑳(𝑵𝑰) = 𝟏 +
𝑹𝟏
Inverting amplifier:
An op-amp connected as an inverting amplifier with a controlled amount of voltage gain is shown in
figure.

Figure 2.3 Inverting amplifier

Page | 6
EE-110 Circuit Analysis & Design

The input signal is applied through a series input resistor R1 to the inverting input. Also, the output is
feedback through Rf to the same input. The non-inverting input is grounded. An expression for the output
voltage of the inverting amplifier is written as
𝑹𝒇
𝑽° = − 𝑽𝒊𝒏
𝑹𝟏
The –ve sign indicates inversion. The closed-loop gain of the inverting amplifier is, thus
𝑹𝒇
𝑨𝑪𝑳(𝑰) = −
𝑹𝟏
Procedure:
Task 1: Design a non-inverting amplifier with gain 10.
o Calculate the values of resistances for gain 10.

Objective:

Apparatus:
o LM 741
o Resistors
o DC Power Supply
o Multimeter
o Oscilloscope

Theory:
Summing amplifier:
The summing amplifier has two or more inputs, and its output age is proportional to the algebraic sum of
its input voltages. Fig.3.1 shows a two-input inverting summing amplifier.

Figure 3.1 Summing amplifier


Case-1: If all the three resistors are equal (R1=R2=R3=Rf=R), then

𝑽° = −(𝑽𝟏 + 𝑽𝟐 + 𝑽𝟑 )

The above equation shows that the output voltage has the same magnitude as the sum of two input voltages
but with a –ve sign indicating inversion.

Case-2: When Rf is larger than the input resistors, the amplifier has a gain of Rf /R.
Where R is the value of each equal value input resistor (R1=R2=R3=R). The general expression for the
output is
Page | 9
EE-110 Circuit Analysis & Design

𝑹𝒇
𝑽° = − (𝑽 + 𝑽𝟐 + 𝑽𝟑 )
𝑹 𝟏

The above equation shows that the output voltage has the same magnitude as the sum of all the input
voltages multiplied by a constant determined by the ratio Rf /R.

Case-3: By setting the ration Rf/R equal to the reciprocal of the number of inputs (n), i.e.,1 ,summing
amplifier can be made to produce the mathematical average of the input voltages.

Case-4: A different weight can be assigned to each input of a summing amplifier by simply adjusting the
values of the input resistors. In this case, the output voltage can be expressed as
𝑹𝒇 𝑹𝒇 𝑹𝒇
𝑽° = − ( 𝑽𝟏 + 𝑽𝟐 + 𝑽 )
𝑹𝟏 𝑹𝟐 𝑹𝟑 𝟑

The weight of a particular input is set by the ratio of Rf to Rx for the input (Rx= R1, R2, ).

Subtractor or Differential amplifier:

The function of a subtractor is to provide an output proportional to or equal to the difference of two
input signals. A basic differential amplifier or a subtractor circuit is shown in figure 3.2.

Figure 3.2 Subtractor


The output voltage of the differential amplifier can be expressed as:
𝑹𝒇
𝑽° = (𝑽 − 𝑽𝟐 )
𝑹𝟏 𝟏
Thus it can be seen that the output voltage depends on the difference of the input voltages. (V1-V2) can
be suitably amplified choosing the values of Rf/R1. The circuit also behaves as a subtractor if Rf=R1.

Procedure:
Task 1: Design a summer that calculates the sum of three inputs. Compare calculated and experimental
results.
Task 2: Adjust the values of Rf and R such that the summer circuit calculates average of inputs. Compare
calculated and experimental results.

EXPERIMENT No. 4

Objective:
To study the pulse response of series RC circuit.

Apparatus:
o Signal generator
o Oscilloscope
o Capacitor
o Resistor

Circuit Diagram:

Figure 4.1 Series RC Circuit

Theory:
The step response of a network is its behavior when excitation is step input. We use a square wave source,
which in fact repeats the pulse every ‘T’ seconds and allows a continuous display of repetitive responses
on a normal oscilloscope.
Charging a capacitor:
We investigate the behavior of a capacitor when it is charged via a high resistor. At the instant when step
voltage is applied to the network, the voltage across the capacitor is zero because the capacitor is initially
uncharged. The entire applied voltage V will be dropped across the resistance R and the charging current
is maximum.

Page | 12
EE-110 Circuit Analysis & Design

But then gradually, voltage across the capacitor starts increasing as the capacitor starts to charge and the
charging current starts decreasing. The decrease of the charging current and the increase of voltage across
the capacitor follows exponential law.
𝑽 −𝒕/𝑹𝑪
𝒊(𝒕) = 𝒆
𝑹
However, the voltage across the capacitor is given by:
𝑽𝒄(𝒕) = 𝑽(𝟏 − 𝒆−𝒕/𝑹𝑪 )
Where
t= time elapsed since pulse is applied.
τ= RC= time constant of the circuit.

Figure 4.2: Charging and discharging of capacitor


Discharging of capacitor:
During the next half cycle of pulse, when the pulse amplitude is zero and capacitance is charged to
potential difference of V volts, now the capacitor discharges through resistor R. So, the voltage across the
capacitor decreases exponentially and the discharge current rises instantly to a maximum value i.e. Im =
V/R and then decays exponentially. Mathematically, it can be shown that voltage across the capacitor and
discharging current are given by:

𝑽𝒄(𝒕) = 𝑽𝒆−𝒕/𝑹𝑪
𝒊(𝒕) = −𝑰𝒎 𝒆−𝒕/𝑹𝑪

Procedure:
o Set the output of the function generator to a square-wave with frequency 500Hz and peak-to-peak
amplitude 5V.
o Wire the circuit on breadboard.
o Display simultaneously voltage Vin (t) across the function generator (on CH 1) and Vc (t) across
the capacitor C (on CH 2).

(t), also represents the current i (t).
o Measure the time constant, τ, using the waveform Vc (t). Expand the time scale and measure the
time it takes for the waveform to complete 63% of its total change, i.e. 5V. Enter the measured
value of τ in Table.

EXPERIMENT No. 6
Objective:
To study the pulse response of series RL circuit.

Apparatus:
o Signal generator
o Oscilloscope
o Inductor
o Resistor

Circuit Diagram:

Theory:
This lab is similar to the RC Circuit Lab except that an Inductor replaces the capacitor. In this experiment,
we apply a square waveform to the RL circuit to analyze the transient response of the circuit. The pulse-
width relative to the circuit’s time constant determines how it is affected by the RL circuit.
Rise of current:
At the instant when step voltage is applied to an RL network, the current increases gradually and takes
some time to reach the final value. The reason the current does not build up instantly to its final value is
that as the current increases, the self-induced e.m.f. in L opposes the change in current (Lenz’s Law).
Mathematically, it can be shown:

Circuit Diagram:

Theory:
Resonance in RLC circuit:
Resonance means to be in step with. When the applied voltage and the current in an a.c. network are in
step with i.e. phase angle between voltage and current is zero or pf = 1, the circuit is said to be in resonance.
An a.c. circuit containing reactive element (L and C) is said to be in resonance when the net reactance is
zero.
When a series R-L-C is in resonance, it possesses minimum impedance Z = R. Hence, circuit current is
maximum, it being limited by value of R alone. The current I0 =V/R and is in phase with V. Since circuit
current is maximum, it produces large voltage drops across L and C. But these drops being equal and
opposite, cancel out each other. Taken together, L and C from part of a circuit across which no voltage
develops however, large the current flowing. If it were for the presence of R, such a resonant circuit would
act like a short circuit to currents of the frequency to which it is often referred to as voltage resonance.

Page | 26
EE-110 Circuit Analysis & Design

The frequency at which the net reactance of the series circuit is zero is called the resonant frequency. Its
value can be found as under:

Objective:
To plot the magnitude and phase responses of a simple low pass RC filter circuit.

Apparatus:
o Signal Generator
o Multimeter
o Resistor

o Oscilloscope

Circuit Diagram:

Figure 9.1: Low pass RC filter

Theory:
By using various combinations of resistance's, capacitors and inductors we can make circuits that have the
property of passing or rejecting either low or high frequencies or bands or frequencies. These frequency
selective networks, which alter the amplitude and phase characteristics of the input ac signal, are called
fillers.
Low pass filter:
A low pass filter allows signals with lower frequencies to pass from input to output while rejecting higher
frequencies.

Page | 29
EE-110 Circuit Analysis & Design

Passband of a filter:
The range of low frequencies passed by a low-pass filter within a specified limit is called the passband of
the filter.
Critical frequency:
The critical frequency is the frequency at which the filter's output voltage is 70.7% of the maximum. The
filter's critical frequency is also called the cutoff frequency, break frequency, or -3 dB frequency
because the output voltage is down 3 dB from its maximum at this frequency. The term dB (decibel) is a
commonly used one that you should understand because the decibel unit is used in filter measurements.

Figure 9.2: Frequency response of low pass filter


Decibels:
The basis for the decibel unit stems from the logarithmic response of the human ear to the intensity of
sound. The decibel is a logarithmic measurement of the ratio of one power to another or one voltage to
another, which can be used to express the input-to-output relationship of a filter. The following equation
expresses a voltage ratio in decibels:
𝐕𝐨
𝐝𝐁 = 𝟐𝟎𝐥𝐨𝐠( )
𝐕𝐢𝐧
Operation of the low pass filter:
When the input is dc (0 Hz), the output voltage equals the input voltage because Xc is infinitely
large. As the input frequency is increased, Xc decreases and, as a result, Vout, gradually decreases
until a frequency is reached where Xc = R . This is the critical frequency, fc, of the filter.
Xc = R
𝟏/𝟐𝛑𝐟𝐜𝐂 = 𝐑

𝒇𝒄 =

At the critical frequency, output voltage magnitude is:
𝐗𝐜
𝐕𝐨𝐮𝐭 = (
√𝐗𝐜 𝟐 +𝐑^𝟐
) Vin
Page | 30
EE-110 Circuit Analysis & Design

Since, Xc=R at fc, output voltage magnitude is:


𝐕𝐨𝐮𝐭 = 𝟎. 𝟕𝟎𝟕 𝐕𝐢𝐧
The ratio of output voltage to input voltage at the critical frequency can be expressed in decibels as
follows:
dB = 20log(Vout/Vin)
At fc, Vout is 70.7% of Vin, so
Vout/Vin=0.707
dB = 20log(0.707) = -3dB
Phase Shift in a Low-Pass Filter:
The RC low-pass filter acts as a lag network. Since that the phase shift from input to output is
expressed as:
