2. Theory
Thevenin's Theorem:

 Thevenin's Theorem simplifies any linear electrical network to a single equivalent voltage source
(VthV_{th}Vth) in series with a resistance (RthR_{th}Rth) connected to the load resistor. This makes analyzing
circuits with loads easier.
 Thevenin voltage (VthV_{th}Vth) is found by measuring the open-circuit voltage across the load terminals.
 Thevenin resistance (RthR_{th}Rth) is found by deactivating all independent sources (voltage sources
become short circuits, and current sources become open circuits) and measuring the resistance seen from
the load terminals.

Superposition Theorem:

 Superposition Theorem states that in a linear circuit with multiple independent sources (voltage or current
sources), the response (voltage or current) at any element is the algebraic sum of the individual responses
caused by each independent source acting alone, with all other sources turned off.
 To apply Superposition:
1. Turn off all but one source.
2. Analyze the circuit with the active source.
3. Repeat for all sources and sum the results.

### **4. Results**

#### **Results for Thevenin's Theorem:**

1. **Thevenin Equivalent Voltage (\(V_{th}\)):**

the voltage and current.

**Example Calculation:**

---

#### **Results for Superposition Theorem:**

1. **Voltage/Current due to each Source:**


- Measure the voltage or current caused by each source acting alone.

**Example Calculation:**

- Voltage due to Source 2: \( V_2 = 4V \)

2. **Total Voltage/Current:**
- Sum the individual voltages or currents from each source to get the total response.
**Example Calculation:**
- Total Voltage: \( V_{\text{total}} = V_1 + V_2 = 6V + 4V = 10V \)

---

### **Conclusion:**

- **Thevenin's Theorem** simplifies complex circuits to an easier equivalent circuit


with a voltage source and series resistance, making load analysis straightforward.
- **Superposition Theorem** helps in analyzing circuits with multiple sources by
considering the effect of each source individually and summing their effects.

2. Theory
Reciprocity Theorem:

 Reciprocity Theorem states that in a linear, bilateral network, the current resulting from a voltage source in
one branch can be measured in any other branch when the positions of the voltage source and the
measurement points are interchanged.
 In simpler terms, the current caused by a voltage source in one part of a circuit is the same as the current
caused when the source and measurement point are swapped.

Millman’s Theorem:

 Millman’s Theorem is used to find the equivalent voltage across a set of parallel branches, each
containing a voltage source and a resistance. It simplifies the analysis of circuits with multiple
sources in parallel.

Veq=V1/R1+V2/R2+⋯+Vn/Rn1/R1+1/R2+⋯+1/RnV_{eq} = \frac{V_1/R_1 + V_2/R_2 + \dots +


V_n/R_n}{1/R_1 + 1/R_2 + \dots + 1/R_n}Veq=1/R1+1/R2+⋯+1/RnV1/R1+V2/R2+⋯+Vn/Rn

 Here, V1,V2,…,VnV_1, V_2, \dots, V_nV1,V2,…,Vn are the voltage sources, and
R1,R2,…,RnR_1, R_2, \dots, R_nR1,R2,…,Rn are their corresponding resistances.

 The equivalent voltage VeqV_{eq}Veq across the parallel combination of resistors and voltage sources is
found using Millman’s Theorem.

4. Results
Reciprocity Theorem Results:

 Original Configuration Current: Measure the current III when the voltage source is applied in the
first configuration.

Example:

o I=5 AI = 5 \, AI=5A
 Reciprocal Configuration Current: Measure the current I′I'I′ when the voltage source and
measurement points are interchanged.

Example:
o I′=5 AI' = 5 \, AI′=5A
 Verification: The measured currents should be identical in both configurations, verifying the
Reciprocity Theorem.

Millman’s Theorem Results:

 Calculate the Equivalent Voltage VeqV_{eq}Veq using Millman’s formula:

Veq=V1/R1+V2/R2+V3/R31/R1+1/R2+1/R3V_{eq} = \frac{V_1/R_1 + V_2/R_2 + V_3/R_3}{1/R_1 + 1/R_2 +


1/R_3}Veq=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3V1/R1+V2/R2+V3/R3

Example Calculation:

o V1=10V,R1=10 ΩV_1 = 10V, R_1 = 10 \, \OmegaV1=10V,R1=10Ω


o V2=5V,R2=20 ΩV_2 = 5V, R_2 = 20 \, \OmegaV2=5V,R2=20Ω
o V3=15V,R3=30 ΩV_3 = 15V, R_3 = 30 \, \OmegaV3=15V,R3=30Ω

Veq=(10/10)+(5/20)+(15/30)(1/10)+(1/20)+(1/30)V_{eq} = \frac{(10/10) + (5/20) + (15/30)}{(1/10) + (1/20) +


(1/30)}Veq=(1/10)+(1/20)+(1/30)(10/10)+(5/20)+(15/30)
Veq=1+0.25+0.50.1+0.05+0.0333=1.750.1833=9.54VV_{eq} = \frac{1 + 0.25 + 0.5}{0.1 + 0.05 + 0.0333} =
\frac{1.75}{0.1833} = 9.54VVeq=0.1+0.05+0.03331+0.25+0.5=0.18331.75=9.54V

 Verification: The calculated equivalent voltage should match the observed voltage across the load
resistor.

Conclusion:

 Reciprocity Theorem is verified by interchanging the voltage source and measurement points, and
confirming the same current.
 Millman’s Theorem simplifies complex circuits with multiple parallel voltage sources, allowing calculation of
the equivalent voltage across the network.

This practical verification helps [Link] 3rd-semester students better understand these important theorems
and their applications in circuit analysis.

2. Theory
Maximum Power Transfer Theorem:

 The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem states that maximum power is transferred from the source to the
load when the resistance of the load (RLR_LRL) is equal to the Thevenin resistance (RthR_{th}Rth) of the
source network.
 Mathematically: Pmax=Vth24RthP_{max} = \frac{V_{th}^2}{4 R_{th}}Pmax=4RthVth2 Where:
o PmaxP_{max}Pmax = Maximum power delivered to the load
o VthV_{th}Vth = Thevenin equivalent voltage
o RthR_{th}Rth = Thevenin equivalent resistance
o RLR_LRL = Load resistance (set equal to RthR_{th}Rth for maximum power)

Steps:

1. Find the Thevenin equivalent of the source network (voltage and resistance).
2. Adjust the load resistance to match RthR_{th}Rth.
3. Measure the power delivered to the load.
4. Compare the power at maximum load resistance with other values of load resistance.

2. Maximum Power Condition:


o Set the load resistance RL=RthR_L = R_{th}RL=Rth for maximum power transfer.

4. Results
Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. Determine Thevenin Equivalent:


o Calculate VthV_{th}Vth and RthR_{th}Rth for the source network using Thevenin’s theorem.
2. Power Measurement:
o Measure the power transferred to the load by using:

P=V2RP = \frac{V^2}{R}P=RV2

where VVV is the voltage across the load resistor RLR_LRL.

o Example Calculation:
 Vth=12VV_{th} = 12VVth=12V, Rth=10 ΩR_{th} = 10 \, \OmegaRth=10Ω
 Set RL=Rth=10 ΩR_L = R_{th} = 10 \, \OmegaRL=Rth=10Ω

Power delivered to load:

Pmax=Vth24Rth=1224×10=3.6 WP_{max} = \frac{V_{th}^2}{4 R_{th}} = \frac{12^2}{4 \times 10} = 3.6


\, \text{W}Pmax=4RthVth2=4×10122=3.6W

3. Verification:
o When RL=RthR_L = R_{th}RL=Rth, the power is maximized at 3.6 W3.6 \, \text{W}3.6W. For any
other value of RLR_LRL, the power will be less than this maximum.

Conclusion:

 The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem is verified by adjusting the load resistance to match the Thevenin
resistance of the source, and confirming the maximum power is transferred when RL=RthR_L = R_{th}RL=Rth

2. Theory
Two-Port Network:

A Two-Port Network is a system with two pairs of terminals, usually used to model electrical networks like
filters, amplifiers, etc. The two-port parameters (also called network parameters) are the relationship
between the voltage and current at the input and output ports.

The common parameters used are:

 Z-parameters (Impedance parameters)


 Y-parameters (Admittance parameters)
 H-parameters (Hybrid parameters)
 T-parameters (Transmission parameters)

For this practical, we focus on determining the open-circuit and short-circuit parameters.

Open-Circuit Parameters:

 Open-Circuit Voltage (VocV_{oc}Voc): The voltage at the output terminals when the output current is zero
(i.e., the load is open).
 Open-Circuit Impedance (ZocZ_{oc}Zoc): The ratio of the open-circuit voltage to the open-circuit current.

Short-Circuit Parameters:

 Short-Circuit Current (IscI_{sc}Isc): The current at the output terminals when the load is shorted.
 Short-Circuit Admittance (YscY_{sc}Ysc): The ratio of the short-circuit current to the short-circuit voltage.

o For short circuit, the output terminals are directly connected with a wire (i.e., shorted).

4. Results
1. Open Circuit Measurement:

 Step 1: Connect the two-port network with no load (open-circuit condition).


 Step 2: Measure the Open-Circuit Voltage VocV_{oc}Voc across the output terminals.

Example Calculation:

o Voc=12VV_{oc} = 12VVoc=12V
 Step 3: Measure the Open-Circuit Impedance ZocZ_{oc}Zoc, which is the ratio of
VocV_{oc}Voc to the current through the open-circuit.

Example Calculation:

o Zoc=12V/0.5A=24 ΩZ_{oc} = 12V / 0.5A = 24 \, \OmegaZoc=12V/0.5A=24Ω

2. Short Circuit Measurement:

 Step 1: Short the output terminals and measure the Short-Circuit Current IscI_{sc}Isc.

Example Calculation:

o Isc=4AI_{sc} = 4AIsc=4A
 Step 2: Measure the Short-Circuit Admittance YscY_{sc}Ysc, which is the ratio of IscI_{sc}Isc to
the short-circuit voltage.

Example Calculation:

o Ysc=4A/12V=0.3333 SY_{sc} = 4A / 12V = 0.3333 \, \text{S}Ysc=4A/12V=0.3333S

Conclusion:

 Open-Circuit Parameters:
o Voc=12VV_{oc} = 12VVoc=12V
o Zoc=24 ΩZ_{oc} = 24 \, \OmegaZoc=24Ω
 Short-Circuit Parameters:
o Isc=4AI_{sc} = 4AIsc=4A
o Ysc=0.3333 SY_{sc} = 0.3333 \, \text{S}Ysc=0.3333S
By measuring the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current, we can find the key parameters for the two-
port network. These measurements can then be used to analyze the behavior of the network in various
applications, such as amplifiers and filters.

Hybrid Parameters (h-parameters):

The h-parameters (Hybrid parameters) describe the relationship between the input and output voltages and
currents of a two-port network. These parameters are particularly useful for modeling amplifiers and
transistors.

The general form of the relationship for a two-port network using h-parameters is:

(V1I1)=(h11h12h21h22)(V2I2)\begin{pmatrix} V_1 \\ I_1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} h_{11} & h_{12} \\ h_{21}


& h_{22} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} V_2 \\ I_2 \end{pmatrix}(V1I1)=(h11h21h12h22)(V2I2)

Where:

 V1V_1V1 and I1I_1I1 are the voltage and current at the input.
 V2V_2V2 and I2I_2I2 are the voltage and current at the output.
 h11h_{11}h11 = Input impedance with output shorted.
 h12h_{12}h12 = Reverse voltage gain (open-circuit gain with output voltage set to zero).
 h21h_{21}h21 = Forward current gain (open-circuit gain with input current set to zero).
 h22h_{22}h22 = Output admittance with input open.

Formulas for h-parameters:

1. h11=V1I1h_{11} = \frac{V_1}{I_1}h11=I1V1 (with V2=0V_2 = 0V2=0)

2. Theory
RLC Series Circuit:

An RLC series circuit consists of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C) connected in series.
The frequency response of this circuit shows how the impedance changes with frequency.

The resonance frequency (f0f_0f0) occurs when the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance cancel
each other out, and the circuit impedance is purely resistive.

The formula for resonance frequency is:

f0=12πLCf_0 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}f0=2πLC1

The 3dB frequencies (also called half-power points) occur where the power drops to half of its maximum
value, corresponding to the points where the impedance or voltage is 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}21 of its
maximum.

The bandwidth (BW) is:

BW=RLBW = \frac{R}{L}BW=LR

RLC Parallel Circuit:

In an RLC parallel circuit, the resistor, inductor, and capacitor are connected in parallel. The frequency
response shows the impedance of the parallel combination and the behavior around resonance.

The resonance frequency for the parallel RLC circuit is the same as the series circuit:

f0=12πLCf_0 = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}f0=2πLC1

The 3dB frequencies are determined in a similar manner to the series circuit but are based on the parallel
combination’s behavior.

2. Theory

The charging and discharging of a capacitor in an RC circuit can be described using the following
mathematical equations. These processes happen when a capacitor is charged or discharged through a
resistor.

Charging of a Capacitor:

When a capacitor is charging through a resistor, the voltage across the capacitor VC(t)V_C(t)VC(t) at any
time ttt is given by:

VC(t)=Vmax(1−e−tRC)V_C(t) = V_{\text{max}} \left( 1 - e^{-\frac{t}{RC}} \right)VC(t)=Vmax(1−e−RCt)

Where:

 VmaxV_{\text{max}}Vmax is the maximum voltage (supply voltage),


 RRR is the resistance,
 CCC is the capacitance,
 ttt is the time elapsed.

The charging time is characterized by the time constant τ=RC\tau = RCτ=RC. It takes approximately
5τ5\tau5τ for the capacitor to charge up to 99.3%99.3\%99.3% of VmaxV_{\text{max}}Vmax.

Discharging of a Capacitor:

When a charged capacitor is discharging through a resistor, the voltage across the capacitor VC(t)V_C(t)VC
(t) at any time ttt is given by:

VC(t)=V0e−tRCV_C(t) = V_0 e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}VC(t)=V0e−RCt

Where:

 V0V_0V0 is the initial voltage across the capacitor,


 RRR is the resistance,
 CCC is the capacitance,
 ttt is the time elapsed.

The time constant τ=RC\tau = RCτ=RC is the time taken for the voltage to drop to approximately
36.8%36.8\%36.8% of its initial value.

\text{second}τ=R×C=(10×103)×(100×10−6)=1second
Step 4: Observation

 The voltage across the capacitor will rise exponentially, and it will take approximately 5τ5\tau5τ (5 seconds
in this case) for the capacitor to charge close to 99.3%99.3\%99.3% of VmaxV_{\text{max}}Vmax.

2. Discharging of Capacitor:
Step 1: Set Up the Circuit

 After charging the capacitor, disconnect the power supply and connect the capacitor to the resistor to start
the discharging process.

Step 2: Measure Voltage Across Capacitor

 Use the oscilloscope to measure the voltage across the capacitor during discharging.
 The voltage will decay exponentially.

Step 3: Determine Time for Voltage Decay

 The time it takes for the capacitor voltage to drop to 36.8%36.8\%36.8% of its initial value corresponds to
the time constant τ\tauτ.

For example:

 Initial voltage V0=10VV_0 = 10VV0=10V,


 After τ\tauτ seconds, the voltage will drop to 10×e−1≈3.68V10 \times e^{-1} \approx 3.68V10×e−1≈3.68V.

Conclusion:

 The time constant τ=1 second\tau = 1 \, \text{second}τ=1second for the given values of R=10 kΩR = 10 \,
k\OmegaR=10kΩ and C=100 μFC = 100 \, \mu FC=100μF.
 The charging and discharging voltages follow exponential behavior as predicted by the theoretical formulas.
 The voltage across the capacitor charges to 99.3%99.3\%99.3% of the maximum value in about 5τ5\tau5τ
seconds, and discharges to 36.8%36.8\%36.8% of its initial value in τ\tauτ seconds.

This experiment demonstrates the charging and discharging behavior of capacitors and allows the
determination of the time constant of an RC circuit.
