[Fig 1: Circuit digram of experimental set-up for analysis of reciprocity theorem.]


  1. Simulate any network with suitable value of R, L, and C such that the short circuit currents in all branches are within safe limit.
    Apply a small voltage at a-a and measure the short circuit current at b-b. Check the ratio =Va-a /Ib-b.
  2. Now apply a voltage across c-c after open circuiting it and measure the current through d-d after shorting them. find the ratio=Vc-c /Id-d.
    3. The two ratio should be identical that is,

    $$\frac{V_{a-a}}{I_{b-b}}=\frac{V_{c-c}}{I_{d-d}}$$
