Exp.3 - MPT Theorem Manual

1. The document describes an experiment to verify Thevenin's theorem and the maximum power transfer theorem. 2. Thevenin's theorem states that any linear two-terminal network can be replaced by a voltage source in series with a resistor. This equivalent circuit is found and used to calculate the current through a 270Ω load resistor. 3. The maximum power transfer theorem states that maximum power is delivered from a source to a load when the load resistance equals the source resistance. Different load resistances are tested to find the resistance that delivers maximum power.

Exp.3. Thevenin and Maximum power transfer theorem


Date:

Objective:

1. To design a simplified equivalent circuit in analysing the power systems and other
circuits where the load resistor is subject to change in order to determine the voltage
across it and current through it using thevenin’s theorem.
2. To design the circuit for maximizing the power transferred from the amplifier to the
loudspeaker using maximum power transfer theorem.

Experiment 1.a(Thevenin’s Theorem)

Statement of the theorem:


Any two-terminal linear network composed of voltage sources, current sources, and
resistors, can be replaced by an equivalent two-terminal network consisting of an independent
voltage source in series with a resistor. The value of voltage source is equivalent to the open
circuit voltage (Vth) across two terminals of the network and the resistance is equal to the
equivalent resistance (Rth) measured between the terminals with all energy sources replaced
by their internal resistances.

Problem Circuit:

Find the current through 270Ω resistance in the figure 1 using thevenin’s theorem.

Experiment 1.b(Maximum power transfer Theorem)

Statement of the theorem:


The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem states that maximum power is delivered
from a source to a load when the load resistance is equal to source resistance.

In the thevenin’s equivalent circuit, the maximum power will be delivered from
source to the load when the load resistance (RL) is equal to the thevenin’s resistance (Rth).
