(c) Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
(d) Thevenin's Theorem
AIM
1. SUPERPOSITION THEOREM
The Aim of this experiment is to verify Superposition Theorem.
Learning Objectives:- The Superposition Theorem is very useful for finding the voltages and currents in a circuit with two or more sources of supply.
At the end of this experiment, students should be able to learn:
- To measure current by considering one source present at a time in a circuit.
- Compare the theoretical and practical values of current for verifying the superposition theorem.
2. NORTON'S THEOREM
The Aim of this experiment is to verify Norton Theorem.
Learning Objectives:- Norton’s Theorem is a useful tool to analyze an electric circuit which reduces linear, active circuits and complex networks into a simple equivalent circuit.
At the end of this experiment, Students should be able to learn:
- To measure Short circuit current in a circuit.
- To measure Norton resistance in a circuit.
- To Compute the load current (IL) across load resistor by using the current divider rule.
- To Verify Norton’s Theorem by comparing analytically calculated values with practical one.
3. MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM
The Aim of this experiment is to verify the maximum power transfer theorem.
Learning Objectives:- At the end of this experiment, students should be able to understand how maximum power is delivered to the load when load resistance is made equal to the source resistance.
- To measure voltage and current in a circuit.
- To calculate the maximum power delivered to the load by using maximum power formula.
4. THEVENIN'S THEOREM
The Aim of this experiment is to verify Thevenin Theorem.
Learning Objectives:- The objective of this experiment is to examine an application of Thevenin’s Theorem.
- To measure Thevenin voltage in a circuit.
- To measure Thevenin equivalent resistance in a circuit.
- To compute the load current (IL) flowing through (RL) by using the Thevenin Formula.
IL = Vth/(Rth + RL) - To Verify Thevenin’s Theorem by comparing analytically calculated values with practical one.
