Thevenin Equivalent

Objective
Learn how to use the Thevenin Theorem and calculate the maximum power.

Procedure 

Calculate the R_th

Calculate the V_th

Calculate the minimum of R_L2

Measure the true values

Measure the true values 

V_L2 when R_L2 is at min and max

Set up the circuit

Data for different R_L2

Conclusion

The Thevenin Equivalent is a great method to simplify complicated circuits. From the results we can tell that the error of this method is significantly small. Also, from the last part of this experiment, we noticed that we have maximum power when R_l2=R_th, which satisfied the maximum power theorem.
