Lab #6: Thevenin, Norton & Source Transformation ELEE 2317 – B Ever Acosta Gerardo Zapata 03/08/2024
OBJECTIVES: The objectives for this lab were to observe the application of Thevenin equivalent principles and apply the least squares method to fit a linear equation to experimental data. EQUIPMENT & PARTS: Bench top Digital multimeeter Breadboard Power supply (dual or triple output) Miscellaneous Cables ¼ Watt or ½ Watt Resistors, 51 ohms, 270 ohms, 620 ohms, 1.2 kilohms, 1.8 kilohms, 2.2 kilohms, 2.4 kilohms, 3.6 kilohms, 5.6 kilohms, 12 kilohms, 18 kilohms. Hook-up wire (4/20 or #22 solid conductor) IN THE LAB: First, we identify, measure, and record each resistor in Table 1. We then constructed the circuit shown in Figure 4-3 and set up the meter to measure each resistor we connected one by one. We took the voltage and measured values for resistance to compute the current and power in the resistors. With this data, we came up with a corresponding graph.

Looking at the results for the power, we can see that the results do seem to agree with the maximum power transfer theorem. We then took measurements for the Open Circuit Voltage, Short Circuit Current and Equivalent Resistance. Voc = 7.605 mV Isc = 3.1654 mA Rth = 3.10 Kohms
