    This document describes an experiment to verify Thevenin's theorem and the maximum power transfer theorem. Thevenin's theorem states that any linear circuit can be reduced to an equivalent circuit with a single voltage source (Vth) and resistor (Rth) in series. To determine these values, the load resistor is removed and Vth is measured as the open circuit voltage. Rth is the equivalent resistance measured across the open terminals. Maximum power is transferred to the load when its resistance equals Rth, with the maximum power equal to Vth2/4Rth. The experiment uses a circuit with variable resistors and power supply to measure these values and verify the theorems.

    Verification of Thevenin’s Theorem


    And
    Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
    Thevenin’s Theorem
    • It is possible to simply any linear circuit, no matter how complex , to an equivalent
    circuit with just a single voltage source and series resistance connected to a load.

    • Thevenin’s theorem is useful in analyzing circuits where a particular resistor (load


    resistor) is subject to change and re-calculation is necessary with each value of the load
    resistance, to determine the voltage across it and current through it.

    Thevenin Equivalent Circuit
    • Thevenin’s theorem makes circuit analyze easy by temporarily removing load resistance
    from the original circuit and reducing the rest of the circuit to an equivalent circuit.
    • The load resistance can be re-connected to this “Thevenin Equivalent Circuit”.
    • Thevenin Equivalent circuit consists of a voltage source “Thevenin’s voltage” and a
    resistance “Thevenin’s Resistance” – all connected in series.

    Determine Thevenin Voltage
    and Resistance

    • At first voltage between the two points where the load element used to be
    attached is determined. As the element has been removed, these two points
    remain open and hence this voltage is called Open Circuit Voltage (𝑉𝑜𝑐 ).
    This 𝑉𝑜𝑐 is the Thevenin Voltage 𝑉𝑡ℎ .

    • The resistance looking through the open circuited terminals (removing the
    independent power sources) represents Thevenin Resistance (𝑅𝑡ℎ ).

    Maximum Power Transfer
    Theorem
    • Maximum Power can be transferred to the load when the load resistance is equal
    to the equivalent resistance looking through the terminals where the load is
    connected.
    • Mathematically, maximum power can be transferred to a load when 𝑅𝐿 = 𝑅𝑡ℎ .
    • The maximum amount of power transferred to the load is
