Verification of Reciprocity Theorem AIM

The document describes an experiment to verify the reciprocity theorem in electric circuits. The reciprocity theorem states that the ratio of input voltage to output current in a circuit will be the same as when the voltage and current are interchanged at different points. The experiment involves connecting a circuit as shown, measuring current with the ammeter in two configurations by interchanging the voltage source and ammeter, and verifying that the voltage to current ratios are equal, confirming the reciprocity theorem.

VERIFICATION OF RECIPROCITY THEOREM

AIM
To verify Reciprocity theorem and to determine the current flow through the load resistance.

APPARATUS REQUIRED

THEORY
The reciprocity theorem states that if an voltage in one branch of a reciprocal network
produces a current I in another, then if the voltage is moved from the first to the second branch, it
will cause the same current in the first branch, where the emf has been replaced by a short
circuit. It is sometimes phrased as the statement that voltages and currents at different points in
the network can be interchanged. More technically, it follows that the mutual impedance of a
first circuit due to a second is the same as the mutual impedance of the second circuit due to the
first.
PROCEDURE
1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
2. Switch on the supply and note down the corresponding ammeter readings.
3. Find ratio of input voltage to output current.
4. Interchange the position of the ammeter and power supply. Note down the Corresponding
ammeter readings

5. Verify the reciprocity theorem by equating the voltage to current ratio.
