OBJECTIVE The objective of this lab is to introduce ourselves to the concept of thevenin equivalent circuits. We will learn how to calculate, build, test, and measure thevenin equivalent circuits to make sure they are equivalent to the original. MATERIALS For this lab you need 4 resistors (220 , 330 , 560 and 680 ), a 9V power supply, a multimeter, a breadboard, jumper cables, a computer, and the multisim application. PROCEDURE For exercise 10.1, you need to build a series - parallel circuit with a “load resistor” placed on the branch furthest from the power source. Remove the load resistor, and measure current, voltage, and resistance. To calculate the Thevenin equivalent resistance and voltage, you must remove the load resistor, and then calculate Eth and Rth by using their respective equations. Afterwards, you replace all resistors with Eth and your power source with Rth. Put back your load resistor and measure the voltage and current over it, and the resistance of the circuit. If they are the same as the original circuit you have done it properly. Repeat these steps with different value resistors for 10.2. 2

RESULTS 3
All of our measurements and calculations are relatively the same, with negligible percent difference. This means I calculated the Thevenin equivalent circuit properly. 4

All of our measurements and calculations are relatively the same, with negligible percent difference. This means I calculated the Thevenin equivalent circuit properly. DISCUSSION In your lab report, discuss the effect of Thevenin equivalent circuit. The Thevenin equivalent circuit will act exactly the same as its original circuit. The same voltage, current, and resistance readings will be had, the only difference is the number and value of the resistors and voltage source. It combines all other resistors into one that is then put in series with RL, and the voltage source changes depending on those values. The Thevenin equivalent circuit gives the same value but is visually simpler. CONCLUSION Overall, this lab was a bit challenging at first, but very simple once I got the concept down. At first I thought you might have to calculate the voltage and current with the RL still attached. I learned that there are different ways to combine resistors and simplify circuits to make it easier to calculate or measure voltage, resistance, and current. This was a very insightful and useful lab to help further my knowledge on series - parallel circuits. 6
