Thevinin Equivalent

Purpose: To find the Thevinin equivalent circuit and verify it experimentally.

Experiment:

The initial circuit as well as the calculations and transformations used to find the thevenin equivalent circuit as well as practical values used in the experiment.

We also calculate the smallest acceptable R_L2 that will give a minimum load of 8V.

We build the simple circuit using the equivalents and take the voltage and resistances.

We then build the original circuit and get the data.

Data:

As it is seen the values did match up showing that the thevinin equivalents worked.
