4. Reinstate the 10 volt source and replace the 5 volt source with a short circuit. Repeat step 2.

5. Construct the circuit in Figure 2. Calculate Eth and Rth for the circuit at the output terminals, A and B

6. Place RL at points A and B. Measure the load voltages for RL = 100, 330, 1 k, and 10 k ohm

7. Construct the Thevenin equivalent circuit and repeat step 6.

Explanation / Answer

1)using super position therom

we shall find individual responces then add the responces

drops due to E1short E2

finding current I = E1/(680+330||470)=10/873.85 = 11.44 mA

current in 330 ohm resistor is = I*470/(470+330) = 6.72 mA

current in 470 ohm resistor is = I*330/(470+330) = 4.72 mA

drop across 680 ohm is = 680*I= 7.792 V

drop across 330 ohm is = 370*6.72 m= 2.21 V

drop across 470 ohm is = 470*4.72 m= 2.21 V

drops due to E2 short E1

finding current I = E2/(470+330||680)=5/692.17 = 7.22mA

current in 330 ohm resistor is = I*680/(680+330) = 4.86 mA

current in 470 ohm resistor is = I*330/(680+330) = 2.36 mA

drop across 470 ohm is = 470*I= 3.393 V

drop across 330 ohm is = 370*4.86 m= 1.6 V

drop across 680 ohm is = 680*2.36 m= 1.6 V


using superposition principle total responce is sum of individual responces


drop across 680 = drop due to E1 + drop due to E2

7.792 V +1.6 V =9.39 V


drop across 470 = drop due to E1 + drop due to E2

2.21V +3.93 V =6.14 V


drop across 330 = drop due to E1 + drop due to E2

2.21 V +1.6 V =3.81 V



upto question no 4 is covered in the above solution
