Thevenin'S Theorem Objectives:: Rthevenin R4 R2

The document discusses Thevenin's theorem and superposition theorem. It includes objectives, illustrations of circuit diagrams, data tables, and questions. For Thevenin's theorem, it covers calculating the Thevenin equivalent resistance and voltage, then measuring a current in the original and equivalent circuits. For superposition theorem, it shows applying the principle to separate circuit elements and measuring resulting currents and voltages. Practical applications of the theorems are also discussed.

Thevenin’s Theorem

Objectives:

2. To verify the values obtained by measuring them using a multimeter.
3. To construct a Thevenin’s equivalent circuit.

Answers to Questions:

1. Draw below the Thevenin equivalent circuit, using your calculated values for V TH and RTH.

2. Calculate IR3 using the Thevenin equivalent circuit.

3. Compare the current measured in step 2 (original circuit) and the current calculated in step 8
above (which used Thevenin’s Theorem). (If they are not reasonably close, find the reason for
discrepancy.)

4. What is meant by the word “equivalent” in Thevenin Equivalent circuits?

5. Give several practical applications in which Thevenin Equivalent circuits are used.
