3-Experiment - 3 - Verification of Thevenin's Theorem-10-03-2022

1. The document describes verifying Thevenin's theorem for a circuit using PSPICE software. It involves finding the Thevenin voltage (Vth), Thevenin resistance (Rth), and load current (IL) through simulation and calculation. 2. The procedure removes components from the original circuit to find Vth and Rth, then uses those values with a load resistor RL to simulate the equivalent circuit and calculate IL. 3. Results are analyzed by comparing the theoretical and experimental values for Vth, Rth, and IL and calculating the percentage difference.
