Aim: Verification of Thevenin’s Theorem
Components and Equipment Required: Multimeter, power supply, breadboard, 3 resistors, connecting wires
Theory: Thevenin’s theorem states that a linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source VTh in series with a resistor RTh, where VTh is the open-circuit voltage at the terminals and RTh is the input or equivalent resistance at the terminals when the independent sources are turned off.
The basic steps for solving a circuit using Thevenin’s Theorem is as follows:
