THEVENINS THEOREM: Thevenins theorem states that any two terminal linear network having a number of voltage, current sources and resistances can be replaced by a simple equivalent circuit consisting of a single voltage source in series with a resistance, where the value of the voltage source is equal to the open circuit voltage across the two terminals of the network, and resistance is equal to the equivalent resistance measured between the terminals with all the energy sources replaced by their internal resistances. NORTONS THEOREM: Nortons theorem states that any two terminal linear network having a number of voltage, current sources and resistances can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single current source in parallel with a resistance. The value of the current source is the short circuit current between the two terminals of the network, and resistance is the equivalent resistance measured between the terminals of the network with all the energy sources replaced by their internal resistances.

MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM: Maximum Power Transfer Theorem states that maximum power is delivered from a source to a load when the load resistance is small compare to the source resistance. (ie, RL = RS) In terms of Thevenin equivalent resistance of a network, it is stated as a network delivers the maximum power to a load resistance RL where RL is equal to the Thevenin equivalent resistance of the network. RECIPROCITY THEOREM: Reciprocity Theorem states that in any passive linear bilateral network, if the single voltage source Vx in branch x produces the current response Iy in branch y, then the removal of the voltage source from branch x and its insertion in branch y will produce the current Iy in branch x. In simple terms, interchange of an ideal voltage source and an ideal ammeter in any passive, linear, bilateral circuit will not change the ammeter reading.

PROCEDURE: MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM: For DC Circuit: (1) Connect the circuit as shown in figure 1. (2) Set the power supply to say, 10 V. (3) Vary the values of the load resistance and note the corresponding voltage reading using a voltmeter.

(4) Tabulate the readings and calculate power using the relation V2/R. (5) Plot the graph between power and load resistance. For AC Circuit: (1) Connect the circuit as shown in figure 2. (2) Set the amplitude of the sinusoidal signal to, say 5 V. (3) Vary the frequency of the input signal from 1 KHz to 3 KHz in steps of 100 and note down the corresponding voltage readings using a CRO. (4) Tabulate the readings and calculate power. (5) Plot the graph between power and frequency. RECIPROCITY THEOREM: (1) Connect the circuit as shown in figure 3. (2) Switch on the power supply VS and set it to some value, say 5 V. (3) Note down the corresponding ammeter reading. (4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 for different values of VS. (5) Now interchange the position of the power supply & ammeter as shown in figure 4. (6) Repeat steps 2 to 5. (Different values of VS to be maintained same for setup 3 & 4) (7) Compare the ratios VS/I1 and VS/I2. Both the ratios must be same.

CALCULATION:

RESULT: Thus the maximum power transfer theorem and reciprocity theorem are verified.
