EEE1001 Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering Verification of NETWORK THEOREMS (Thevenin's Theorem)

This document describes verifying Thevenin's theorem for a given circuit. The procedure involves: 1. Opening the load resistor and calculating the open circuit voltage (VTH). 2. Shorting current sources and opening voltage sources to calculate the open circuit resistance (RTH). 3. Redrawing the circuit with a voltage source of VTH in series with a resistance of RTH connected to the load resistor. 4. Calculating the current through the 20ohm load resistor using Ohm's Law. The simulation results match the manual calculations, validating Thevenin's theorem that any linear circuit can be reduced to a single voltage source in series with a resistance

Verification of NETWORK THEOREMS (Thevenin’s


Theorem)

Student Name: Rohil Saxena

Reg no.:20BIT0404
Verification of NETWORK THEOREMS (Thevenin’s
Theorem)

Aim/Objective:

To verify the Thevenin’s Theorm for a given circuit and find current flowing
through a 20ohm resistor.

Apparatus/Tool required:

1. ORCAD / Capture CIS --> Analog Library – R,

Source Library – Voltage dc source, Curent dc source &

Ground (GND) – 0 (zero)

2. Simulation Settings : Analysis Type - Bias Point

Procedure:

1. Open the load resistor.


2. Calculate / measure the open circuit voltage. This is the Thevenin Voltage
(VTH).
3. Open current sources and short voltage sources.
4. Calculate /measure the Open Circuit Resistance. This is the Thevenin
Resistance (RTH).
5. Now, redraw the circuit with measured open circuit Voltage (VTH) in Step (2)
as voltage source and measured open circuit resistance (RTH) in step (4) as
a series resistance and connect the load resistor which we had removed in
Step (1). This is the equivalent Thevenin circuit of that linear electric
network or complex circuit which had to be simplified and analyzed by
Thevenin’s Theorem. You have done.
6. Now find the Total current flowing through load resistor by using the Ohm’s
Law: IT = VTH/ (RTH + RL).

Theory:

“Any linear two terminal network can be replaced by an equivalent network


consisting of a voltage source (VTh) in series with a resistance (RTh) .
Where, VTh = Open circuit voltage at load terminals.
RTh = Equivalent resistance at load terminal when sources are
made inoperative.

Statement:

Thevenin’s Theorem:
“Any linear circuit containing several voltages and resistances can be replaced by just one
single voltage in series with a single resistance connected across the load“

Manual Calculations:

To Find Vth:

By applying KCL on node 1 and node 2 , we get

2
To Find Rth:

From the circuit by short circuiting all voltage source and opening all current
source , we get

To Find Rth:

5ohm and 10ohm are in series and together in parallel with 30ohm.

ie;

Req=5+10=15ohm

1/Rth=1/ Req +1/30

Rth = (Req*30)/(30+Req)

Rth= (15*30)/(30+15)=450/45=10ohm

To Find IL:

Result:

Thevenin’s Theorem

Manual Calculations

Simulated Result

Vth=66.67V, Rth=10ohm, R=20ohm

So, I= Vth/( Rth + R)= 66.67/30

=2.2A
