Payton Woolace Electric Circuits Lab Report 5 1
Payton Woolace Electric Circuits Objective The objective of this lab was to prove several network theorems. Those theorems include the reciprocity theorem, Thevenin’s theorem, and the maximum power transfer theorem. Procedure Firstly we get our supplies which include a circuit board, multimeter, dc power supply resistance box, and 5 resistors. Before we get started with the experiment, we measure the values of each of the resistors to make sure that they are labeled correctly. Then we connect a circuit and measure and record a branch current. We then switch the voltage source and the milliammeter and record the branch current once again. After the first section of the lab is complete we move on to the second section involving Thevenin’s theorem. We measure and record the open circuit voltage in the circuit. Then we create a new circuit in order to find the maximum power. Discussion In this lab we started with trying to prove the reciprocity theorem. We did this by creating a circuit and measuring the branch current before switching the voltage source and the milliammeter. The two branch current values were essentially a perfect match, using these results we were able to prove the theorem. According to the theorem these two branch currents were supposed to be the same. Next we set out to prove Thevenin’s theorem. We were able to do so by condensing the circuit we used into a single circuit. Finally we set out to find the maximum power transfer of the circuit that we made. We found that the in order to get the maximum power the resistance RL equals 3.3 K ohms. 2
