PROCEDURE:

Perform the steps indicated below for the circuit(s) of Figures 2 & 3.

Step 1. For the original circuit calculate the following:

          a. The current through the load resistor (I_L);

          b. The voltage across the load resistor (V_L);

          c. I short circuit (I_SC);

          d. V open circuit (V_OC). This is the Thevenin voltage (E_TH);

          e. The resistance (R_Th)between the terminals A and B with the                 power supplies replaced by their internal resistances.

Step 2. Using the values obtained in Part 1 for E_TH and R_TH, draw the complete Thevenin equivalent circuits including all necessary details on the schematic.

Step 3. Construct the original circuits and measure the following:

          a. All the resistor values being used.

          b. The current through the load resistor (I_L);

          c. The voltage across the load resistor (V_L);

          d. The current through R_Lwhen R_L = 0W (I_SC);

          e. The voltage from A to B with R_Lequal to infinity (V_OC). This                  is the Thevenin voltage (V_TH);

          f. The resistance (R_AB) between terminals A and B with                           R_Lremoved and the power supply replaced by its ideal                            internal resistance 

Step 4. Construct the Thevenin equivalent circuit(s) using the values of E_TH and R_TH obtained from the above measurements and repeat all of the current and voltage measurements made for step 3a,b,c,d,e. 

Step 5. Tabulate and calculate %error in the provided tables.
