Theory:
Thevenin’s Theorem:

This theorem states that a network composed of lumped, linear circuit elements may , for the
purposes of analysis of external circuit or terminal behaviour, be replaced by a voltage source
V(s) in series with a single impedance.

Thevenin’s theorem simplifies the method of finding current through any specified branch. For this
purpose we have to find two things:

1. Thevenin’s Resistance Rth

2. Thevenin’s Voltage Vth

GRIET/EEE 15
 MULTISIM / NETWORKS LAB

1. Construct the circuit.

2. Connect the circuit with different loads.

3. Note down the power delivered to load and voltage.

4. Verify the resistance at which maximum power is delivered is equal to R1.

Observations:
For Maximum power transfer:

6. 4.051 0.863 3.49m 4.7k

Maximum power transfer calculations:

Load current= I= VS / (RN + RL)

GRIET/EEE 16
 MULTISIM / NETWORKS LAB

P= Power delivered to load = (VS / (RN + RL)) 2 RL

Maximum power transferred = V2/4RL

STEP1:
To find equivalent resistance across ab (Rab)

1.Rab is found out by shorting the voltage source and calculating resistance across a&b.

R2 3

2.2k

R4
2.2k

Rab= ((2.2K)//(2.2k))/94.4k)

=1.1k Ώ

STEP 2:

Finding VTH

1. VTH is the voltage across a&b.

R5 4

2 2.2k

V2 R6
10 V 2.2k

GRIET/EEE 17
 MULTISIM / NETWORKS LAB

Voltage across ab is VTH

Current through 2.2k=10/ (2.2+2.2) k

=2.27mA

VTH= (2.2k)*(2.27m)
=5V
Therefore, VTH=5V

Maximum power transfer occurs when RL=Rab=1.1KΏ

Power transferred = (VTH*VTH)/ (4*RL)

=25/ (4*1.1k)

=0.00568W.

Also, V*I= (2.5)*(2.2727m)

=0.00568W

Therefore VI= (VTH*VTH)/ (4*RL)

Hence maximum power transfer theorem is verified.

4. Super position Theorem and Reciprocity Theorem.

Aim:
1. To construct a circuit and verify Super position Theorem for the given circuit.

2. To construct a circuit and verify Reciprocity Theorem for the given circuit.

Theory: A) Super position Theorem:

In any linear network containing two or more sources ‘response’ in any element is equal to the algebraic
sum of responses caused by individual sources acting while the other sources are inoperative.

The word inoperative means a voltage source is replaced by a short circuit while the current source
replaced by open circuit.

B) Reciprocity Theorem:
In a circuit having several branches, if a source of voltage V produces a current I in another branch, the
same current I will flow in the first branch if voltage source is put in the second branch. That means
voltage source and ammeter can be interchanged but the ammeter reading will remain unaltered.

Procedure:

Superposition:
1. First measure the current through R5 due to source V1 while source V2 is replaced with short circuit. Let
this current be Iv1.

2. Next measure current through R5 due to source V2 while source V1 is replaced with short circuit.

3. Let this current be Iv2.

4. Now let both sources be in place. The current through R5 is measured once again. Let this current be I.

5. Verify whether I= Iv1+Iv2.

Reciprocity:
1. Construct the circuit given.

2. Measure the current in the R5.

3. Now replace ammeter with voltage source and voltage source with ammeter measure the current in R3.

4. Compare both readings.

The current through 3.3kohm is,

Pocedure:

Determination of Z parameters
1. Connect a DC voltage source of 5v to the input and measure the current I1. Since I2 =0.

2. Using the same circuit we can determine Z21. For this value we have to measure V2

3. Note that even if a voltmeter is connected at the output there is no current at outputs as voltmeter has a very hi
resistance. As I2 =0.

4. To determine Z12, I1must be zero. So do not connect anything at the input.

5. Connect a DC voltage source of 5V at the output and measure the voltage v1 since I1 = 0.

6. Using same circuit we can determine Z22. Since I1 = 0.

Determination of Y parameters

1. To determine Y11, V2 should be zero. So short the output terminals and measure input current

and input voltage. As V2 = 0

2. Using the same circuit we can determine Y21, Measure the short circuit current I2. As V2 =0.

3. To determine Y21, V1 should be zero. So short the terminals through an ammeter

2. Verify Milliman’s theorem for a given network.

Apparatus Required:
1. Voltmeter

2. Resistances

3. Bread board

4. Ammeter

5. DC voltage source

Theory:

1) Compensation Theorem:
It states that in any linear bilateral network, any element can be replaced by voltage source of magnitude equal to
current through the element multiplied by value of element provides currents and voltages in another part

of circuit remain unaltered.

Consider the network as shown in figure.

GRIET/EEE 57
 MULTISIM / NETWORKS LAB

In the above circuit, the resistance R, can be replaced by a voltage source at value

IR

2) Milliman’s Theorem:
Milliman’s theorem states that in any linear active bilateral network consisting of no of voltage sources which are
parallel and are in series with their internal resistances then this entire system of circuit can be replaced by a sing
voltage source in series with a single resistance.

Let us consider the circuit shown below consisting of no of voltage sources V1,V2,V3............Vn are in series w
their internal resistances r1,r2,r3..........rn can be reduced into a single circuit with a voltage source ‘V’ and the
resistance ‘R’ as shown in the figure ‘b’.

To find I2 add ∆R =1k ohm

I’ = I1 – I2

VERIFICATION:
From fig (3):

V = I *∆R

= 0.94*1.1

=1.03 volts

Req = (((2.2+1.1)1/2.2+1.1+1)+3.3)*1000

Applying K.C.L,

The time delay between the two waves is t. T is the period. Both t and T are noted for each value
of capacitor. The angle between the two wave forms is

a = t*360/T

Measure also magnitudes Va and Vl from the oscilloscope. Draw the triangle as shown. Different

Third method uses Lissazous figure to measure angle between the applied voltage
and voltage across resistor Vr.

By making connections as above, channel 1 displays the applied voltage and channel 2 displays
the voltage across the resistance.

If we select dual-trace option Va and Vr are displayed simultaneously and the time lag between
the two can be measured and converted to angle.

If we select XY option we can display the Lissazous figure and angle can be obtained using the
formula

‘AB’ is marked proportional to applied voltage. Using a protractor mark a line at an angle mark a
to AB. Mark the magnitude of voltage across resistance on this line to get the point P, join PB.

Using several values of resistor R repeat the experiment. It can be observed that for each resistor
value a different location for point P is obtained. It is also observed that all the points P1, P2,
P3…. Fall on a semi circle.

11. LOCUS OF CURRENT VECTOR IN AN R-C CIRCUIT

CONTENT:
In this experiment you will learn that current vector leads the applied voltage and
the tip of the current vector describes a semi circle when one of the components (R or C) is
varied from zero to infinity.

CIRCUIT 1:

An RC circuit is shown below:

current I =--------

R+jXc

V(R+JXc) V.R jVXc

-------------------- = ---------- + -------------

R2+Xc2 R2+Xc2 R2+Xc2

Z=( R2+Xc2)1/2

SO I= ----- + --------- =Ix+jIy say

Z2 Z2

Two cases arise:

a) Keep Xc constant and vary R (different resistors used)

b) Keep R constant and vary Xl (different capacitors used )
In either case tip of the current vector describes a semi circle.

PROCEDURE:

These are three methods to draw the locus

METHOD 1:
Using a multimeter in AC voltage range, note down voltage applied, voltage
across resistor and voltage across capacitor. Keeping resistor constant and for various values of
capacitor, note down meter readings and fill up the following table:

S.No Vapplied Vr Vc

Keeping C constant, use values of R and note down Vapplied, Vr and Vc producing a table
similar to above.

For each set of readings a triangle can be constructed using a compass as shown. All the points
such as A, B etc., lie on a semi circle.

In a 3-phase, 3-wire system, power can be measured using two wattmeter’s for balance and
unbalanced loads and also for star, delta type loads. This can be verified by measuring the power
consumed in each phase. In this circuit, the pressures coils are connected between two phase
such that one of the line is coinciding for both the meters.

Theory:

The active power is obtained by taking the integration of function between a particular time intervals
from t1 to t2

t2

P = 1/ (t2- t1) P (t) dt

t1

By integrating the instantaneous power over one cycle, we get average power.

The average power dissipated is

Pav = Veff[ Ieff cosθ]

From impedance triangle,

Cosθ = R/Z

Substituting, we get

Reactive Power Pr = Veff[ Ieff sinθ]
