1.1 Objectives:
 To determine the equelvent RTH and VTH
 To verify that the max power happens when RL = RTH
 To compare the power when we change the RL

1.2 INTRODUCTON:
Thevenin’s theorem states that it is possible to simplify any linear circuit, irrespective of how
complex it is, to an equivalent circuit with a single voltage source and a series resistance.

Thevenin’s Theorem states that it is possible to simplify any linear circuit, no

matter how complex, to an equivalent circuit with just a single voltage source and
series resistance connected to a load. The qualification of “linear” is identical to
that found in the Superposition Theorem.
To solve circuit using Thevenin mathematically we must do those steps
1. firstly remove the load resistance and change it with open circuit
2. Measure the voltage on the RL that you have removed that is (VTH)
3. Secondly Remove the voltage sources by shorting all of them
4. Measure the R after removing the voltage source and RL that is RTH

Thevenin’s theorem can be applied to both AC and DC circuits. But it should be noted that this
method can only be applied to AC circuits consisting of linear elements like resistors, inductors,
capacitors. Like Thevenin’s equivalent resistance, Thevenin’s equivalent impedance is obtained
by replacing all voltage sources with their internal impedances.

Thevenin Theorem Applications

 Thevenin’s theorem is used in the analysis of power systems.
 Thevenin’s theorem is used in source modelling and resistance measurement using the
Wheatstone bridge.
NOW TO the experiment

1.3 REQURMENTS:
1. Powersuplly
2. Resistors
 100 ohm
 1k ohm
 330 ohm
 470 ohm
 570 ohm
 2.2k ohm
3. panel
4. wires

We will use figure 2 because there's the 570 ohm resistor in the lab

1.4 RESULTS:
RL IL VL PL= V^2 / R
100 ohm 11.1ma 1.11 V 0.0123 W
330 ohm 8.19ma 2.70 V 0.0221 W
 570 ohm 6.51ma 3.70 V 0.0241 W
1k ohm 4.7ma 4.68 V 0.022 W
2.2k ohm 2.62ma 5.72 V 0.015 W

1.5 Conclusion :
1. We see that the max power heppens when The RL is equel to Rth at 570 ohm.
2. When the different between RL and RTH is bigger the power get smaller.
3. It can simplify a very complex circuit to a very simple equivalent.
