Experiment No: 2
Experiment Name: Study of Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorem

Introduction:
Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorems simplify the analysis of complex electrical circuits by
replacing them with equivalent circuits. This experiment focuses on understanding and
applying these theorems to analyze circuits with variable loads, providing insights into
their practical use in electrical engineering.

Theory:
Thevenin’s Theorem
Thevenin’s theorem is a method used to simplify the analysis of complex linear electrical
circuits. It states that any two-terminal, linear circuit can be replaced by an equivalent
circuit consisting of a single voltage sourceV TH , in series with a resistor, RTH . The voltage
V TH is known as the open-circuit voltage across the terminals of the circuit, and RTH
represents the equivalent resistance when all independent sources are turned off (voltage
sources are replaced with short circuits and current sources with open circuits).
Dependent sources, however, remain active during this process. Thevenin’s theorem is
particularly useful when analyzing circuits with a variable load, as it allows the circuit to
be reduced to a simple equivalent form that is easier to work with.

Norton’s Theorem
Norton’s theorem is closely related to Thevenin’s theorem but uses a current source
instead of a voltage source. It asserts that any linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced
by an equivalent circuit consisting of a current source I N , in parallel with a resistor, R N .
The current I N is determined by calculating the short-circuit current between the terminals
of the circuit. The resistance , R N is equivalent to the Thevenin resistance, RTH . Norton’s
theorem provides a simplified approach to analyzing circuits, particularly when working
with current sources or when it is more convenient to express the circuit in terms of a
current source in parallel with a resistor. Both Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems are
valuable tools in circuit analysis, offering simplified equivalent circuits for complex
networks, making calculations easier and more manageable.

Conclusion:
Errors in circuit experiments can happen because of problems like inaccurate measuring tools,
loose connections, or changes in resistance due to heat. These issues can make the results less
accurate.
However, in this experiment, all calculations were performed carefully, and no errors were
detected in our results, ensuring accurate verification of Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorems.
