Statement: KCL: The algebraic sum of the currents meeting at a node is equal to zero. KVL: In any closed path / mesh, the algebraic sum of all the voltages is zero. Precautions: 1. Voltage control knob should be kept at minimum position. 2. Current control knob of RPS should be kept at maximum position. Procedure for KCL: 1. Give the connections as per the circuit diagram. 2. Set a particular value in RPS. 3. Note down the corresponding ammeter reading 4. Repeat the same for different voltages Procedure for KVL: 1. Give the connections as per the circuit diagram. 2. Set a particular value in RPS. 3. Note all the voltage reading 4. Repeat the same for different voltages

THEORY:-
THEVENIN’S THEOREM: -
Any linear bilateral network with respect to a pair of terminals may be replaced by a voltage source Vth, where Vth is open circuit voltage (i.e. Voltage across the terminals when RL is removed ) in series with resistance equal to Thevenin’s resistance Rth, where Rth is the internal resistance of the network from terminals A and B with voltage sources replaced by their internal resistances, if any , and current sources by infinite resistance. The current flowing through a load Resistance RL connected across any two terminals A and B of a linear, passive, bilateral network is given by
IL = Vth / (Rth + RL)

PROCEDURE:-

1. Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram and apply suitable voltage, remove RLand. note down the open circuit voltage (Vth) across terminals A & B. (Fig.2).

2. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.3. And note the Thevenin’s Resistance Rth by means of a multi meter (Ohm meter).

3. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.1. For a particular value of load resistance RL, keeping the voltage of RPS at the same value as in step 1, note the value of the current. Verify the value obtained by applying the Thevenin’s theorem i.e. IL should be equal to Vth/ (Rth + RL).

4. Repeat step 3, for various values of load resistances and compare with the calculated values as obtained by applying Thevenin’s theorem.

5. Vary the input voltage and take three sets of readings (step 2. Need not be repeated as long as the network is not changed).

6. Fig. 4 shows the Thevenin equivalent circuit with load resistor.

THEORY:-

NORTON’S THEOREM:

Any linear bilateral network with respect to a pair of terminals may be replaced by a current source, whose value is equal to the current passing through it when short circuited, in parallel with a resistance equal to the Thevenin’s resistance. Then the current through the load resistance is given by
