Answer to Question #261203 in Math for Shabber

Question

Thevenin’s Circuits

 

Thevenin’s theorem states that it is possible to simplify any circuit, no matter how complex, to an equivalent circuit with just a single voltage source and a single series resistor. Working to an accuracy of three decimal places and correctly rounding up/down at each calculation you are requested to;

a) Calculate the open circuit voltage VTHEV

 

b) Calculate the open circuit resistance RTHEV

 

c) Draw Thevenin’s equivalent circuit

 

d) Calculate the current flowing through the load resistor RL

 

e) Calculate the voltage across the load resistor RL

 

f) Calculate the power dissipated by the load resistor RL

 

g) Calculate the voltage across the Thevenin’s equivalent resistance RThev

 

h) Prove that your answers for steps d), e), f) and g) are correct by simulating your Thevenin’s Equivalent Circuit using the Proteus simulation software and inserting appropriate meters. 

(It is important that you import your Proteus circuits into WORD as part of your submission)
