THEVENIN AND NORTON THEOREM
OBJECTIVES :
This lab deals to simplify complex circuit using two techniques
Thevenin theorem
Norton therom
THEVENIN THEOREM :
Thevenin’s Theorem states that any complicated network across its load terminals can be
substituted by a voltage source with one resistance in series. This theorem helps in the study of
the variation of current in a particular branch when the resistance of the branch is varied while
the remaining network remains the same.
PROCEDURE :
1. Open the "Schematics" application by conducting a search and initiating the launch
process.
2. Navigate to the "Get new part" option to access the "Part Browser Basics" interface.
3. Input "r" to search for resistors, then place them accordingly by clicking once and
pressing "esc" to confirm.
4. Input "IDC" to search for current source and position it within the schematic layout.
5. Customize the number of resistors based on specific observational requirements.
6. Select the "VDC" option and position it within the schematic layout.
7. Utilize the "draw wire" function to establish connections between components.
8. Input "GND-EARTH" to designate grounding connections.
9. Modify component values by double-clicking on them and making necessary
adjustments.
FRIST STEP
I made the circuit open at terminal point ab.
Calculating I
I=V/R
I=15/16
I=0.9375A
So
Vth would be would be voltage drop across 4ohm resistor beacause it is parallel to point ab.
Vth=(0.9375)(3.75)
Vth=3.75 V
SECOND STEP
Finding Rth
1. Voltage source will be short
2. Current source will be open
As 12Ω and 4 Ω are in parallel and both are in series with 8 Ω so we will calculate equivalent resisitance
in this way.
PARALLEL RESISTORS
1/Req=1/12+1/4
Req=3 Ω
SERIES RESISTORS
Rth =3 Ω+8 Ω
Rth=11 Ω
FRIST STEP
I removed the resistor from terminal ab and short that.
Rn
The Rn(nortons) would be same as Rth as we calculated above .
RTH=11Ω
CONCLUSION :
In this lab, Thevenin and Norton Theorems were employed to simplify complex circuits, revealing crucial
insights for circuit analysis. By systematically open-circuiting and short-circuiting terminals, equivalent
parameters such as Thevenin voltage, Norton current, and resistances were determined.
