(Watts)

Procedure:
1. Connections are given as per the diagram and set a particular voltage in
RPS.
2. Vary RL and note down the corresponding voltmeter reading and
measure the load resistance.
3. Repeat the procedure for different values of RL
& Tabulate it.
4. Calculate the power for each value of RL.
To find Vth:
5. Remove the load, and determine the open circuit voltage using
multimeter (VTh)
To find Rth:
6. Remove the load and short circuit the voltage source (RPS).
7. Find the looking back resistance (RTh) using multimeter.
Equivalent Circuit:
8. Set (VTh) using RPS and RTh and note down the voltmeter reading.
9. Calculate the power delivered to the load (RL = RTh)
10. Verify maximum transfer theorem.
Theoretical calculation:
VTh = I R3
 I is the circuit current when RL is removed
V
I = R +R

 VTh is the drop across R3 when RL is


removed
RTh = (R1 // R3) + R2 (OR) RTh = VTh / ISC
