Verification of Millman's Theorem

Procedure:

Keep all the resistances (R1, R2, & RL) values between 1 - 10 kΩ. Choose any arbitrary values of V1, V2 and Vs between 110 - 220 V.

Experiment Part Select:

Case 1:
Select switches S1 and S2 to power and S3 to load. Click on 'Simulate' button. Observe the value of the load current (IL) from Case 1 tab.

Case-2:
a)Millman Voltage analysis:
Apply switches S1 and S2 to power and S3 to intermediate. Simulate the program. Read Millman voltage (Vm) from Case 2(a) tab.

b)Millman Resistance analysis:
Apply switches S1 and S2 to short and S3 to power. Simulate the program. Read Millman resistance (Rm) from Case 2(b) tab.

Case-3: Using Vm and Rm determine Load Current:
Specify the load resistance in case of the result table as the same load resistance entered in the main circuit. Simulate the program. Read Load current (IL) from Case 3 tab. Compare the load current (IL) obtained from Case 1.
N.B.:- All the resistances are in kΩ.
