AIM : To verify Superposition Theorem.
APPARATUS:
(1) Regulated power supply (D.C) 0 - 30V 2
(2) Board for containing the network 1
(3) Ammeters 0 - 250 mA 3
(4) Voltmeter 0 - 30 V 1
THEORY:
“The superposition theorem states that the response in any element of a linear bilateral
network containing two or more sources is the algebraic sum of the responses obtained by
each source acting separately at a time and with all the other sources set equal to zero,
leaving behind their internal resistance in the network”.
According to this theorem, if there are a number of emfs acting simultaneously in any linear
bilateral network, each emf acts independently of the others i.e. as if the other emfs doesn't
exist. The value of current in any element of the network is the algebraic sum of the currents
due to each emf. Similarly voltage across any element/branch is the algebraic sum of the
voltages which each emf would have produced while acting separately at a time. In
other words, current through or voltage across any conductor of the network is obtained
by superimposing the currents and voltages due to each e.m.f. in the network .It is
important to note that this theorem is applicable only to linear networks. The superposition
theorem is applied to determine currents and voltages which are linearly related to the
sources acting on the network.
In Fig(a) I1, I2 and I3 represent values of currents due to simultaneous action of the two
sources of e.m.fs in the network. In fig(b) I1', I2' and I' represent values of currents due to
source of e.m.f E1 alone. In fig (c) I1", I2" and I" represent values of currents due to source
of e.m.f E2 alone. By superimposing the current values of fig (b) and fig (c) the actual
values of currents due to both the sources can be obtained as under:
I1 = I1' + I1" (algebraic)
I2 = I2" + I2' (algebraic)
I = I' + I" (algebraic)

PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the circuit diagram as shown in the fig (1)
2. Connect the network with two e.m.f sources and adjust the source voltages such that
current values are not exceeded beyond the ranges and ratings of the resistance and note
down the meter readings.
3. Set the e.m.f E2 to zero and note down the readings. due to E1 alone. If any meter
indicates negative, interchange the connection of that meter and consider that reading as
negative. Refer fig(2) .
4. Adjust E2 as before (as per step. 2) and set E1 to zero and note down the meter readings
If any meter indicates negative, interchange the connection of that meter and note
down the reading of that meter with opposite sign w.r.t. the step 3. Refer fig(3).

AIM : To verify Thevenin’s Theorem
APPARATUS:
(1) Board containing network 1
(2) Ammeter 0 - 50 mA. 1
(3) Voltmeter 0 - 10V 1
(4) Regulated power supply 0-30V 1
THEORY:
Thevenin’s theorem state that any two terminal network whether simple or complex can
be replaced by a single source of voltage Vth in series with a single resistance Rth (in case
of d.c) or impedance Zth(in case of a.c) Hence Thevenin's equivalent circuit consists of Vth
in series with Rth (or Zth) as shown in fig(B). Once a Thevenin's circuit is obtained it is
connected across the resistance RL in which current is to be determined. Once the
current value in RL is known, potential difference across it can be calculated if required.
For obtaining Thevenin’s circuit, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the resistance RL and measure (or calculate) voltage Eth between the terminals
from where RL has been removed.
2. Replace all the e.m.f sources by their internal resistance (or impedances) and measure
(or calculate) Rth (or Zth) between the terminals from where RL has been disconnected.
3. Draw the Thevenin's equivalent network.
4. For calculating current in RL, connect RL which was removed earlier across this
Thevenin's circuit.
5. Current through RL is given by
Vth
IL = -----------
Rth + RL
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the fig(1).
2. Switch on the supply and adjust the supply voltage such that meter readings are not
exceeded their ranges and ratings of the resistances. Note down the current through the
load resistance RL.

3. Disconnect the resistance RL from the circuit and measure the voltage across the terminals
from where the resistance RL is disconnected. This voltage is known as Eth. Refer fig(2).
4. Replace source of e.m.f. by its internal resistance and measure the total resistance (or
impedance) of the network between the terminals from where the resistance RL is
disconnected. This resistance (or impedance) is known as Rth (or Zth). Refer fig(3).
5. Calculate the current through RL using the formula.

Rth + RL

AIM : To verify Norton Theorem.
APPARATUS:
(1) Board containing network 1
(2) Ammeter 0 - 50 mA. 1
(3) Voltmeter 0 - 10V 1
(4) Regulated power supply 0-30V 1
THEORY :
This theorem is an alternative to the Thevenin’s theorem. In fact, it is the dual of
Thevenin's theorem. Whereas Thevenin’s theorem reduces a two - terminal active network
to an equivalent constant voltage source and series resistance Norton's theorem replaces
the network by an equivalent constant current source and a parallel resistance. It states
that any two - terminal active network containing voltage/current sources and
resistances/impedances when viewed from its output terminals is equivalent to a constant
current source and a parallel resistance (or impedance). The constant current is equal to
the current which would flow in a short - circuit placed across the terminals and parallel
resistance (or impedance) is the resistance (or impedance) of the network when viewed
from these open circuited terminals after all sources of e.m.fs have been supressed and
replaced by their internal resistances (or impedances).
PROCEDURE for analysis of network:
1. Remove the resistance RL, short the terminals through an ammeter from where RL has
been removed and observe (or calculate) the reading of the ammeter. This gives the
value of the current of the Norton’s current source, Isc.
2. Replace the source by its internal resistance (or impedance) and measure (or calculate)
the resistance RN (or impedance ZN) between the terminals from where RL has been
removed.
3. Connect the RN (or ZN) in parallel with the current source and connect RL which
was disconnected earlier across Norton's equivalent circuit.

the resistance RL.
3. Disconnect the resistance RL and short the terminals through the ammeter from where
RL has been removed and measure(or calculate) the current. This gives the value of the
current (Isc) of the current source. Refer fig(5).

resistance (or impedance) of the network between the terminals from where the resistance

AIM: To verify Maximum Power Transfer Theorem.
APPARATUS:
(1) Board for connecting network
(2) Ammeter 0 - 10 mA 01
(3) Voltmeter 0 - 10V 01
(4) Regulated power supply 0-30V 01
THEORY :
Maximum power transfer theorem deals with transfer of maximum power from a source
to load. This theorem in dc circuit states the relationship between the load resistance and
the internal resistance of the source for maximum power transfer from source to load.
This condition is also referred as resistance matching and it is very important
in electronics and communication circuits for obtaining maximum output. Let
us consider a circuit supplying a power to a load of resistance RL ohms.
The circuit of fig (1) can be simplified to the circuit of fig (2) by using Thevenin's
theorem, from fig (2) the current through RL is given by
E
I = -------
Ri + RL
Power transferred to the load
PL = I2RL
E 2
= -------- RL
Ri + RL
E 2 RL
= ----------- -----------(1)
(Ri + RL)2
In the above expression the resistance Rs and voltage E are constant. Hence PL varies
with respect to only variable RL Power delivered to the load is a maximum if,
d PL
------ = 0
d RL
12
Differentiating the expression (1) wrt RL and equating to zero, we obtain the condition
for maximum power i.e RL = Ri
Hence for maximum power transfer the load resistance should be equal to the internal
resistance of the source,
E2 RL
Pmax = ------------
(RL + Ri )2
E2
= ------- watts (because RL = Ri)

PROCEDURE:
(1) Connect the circuit as shown in the fig.(3)
(2) Switch on the supply and adjust suitable voltage of the supply.
(3) Vary the load resistance from zero onward in suitable steps. For each step take meter
readings.

EXPERIMENT NO: 5 DATE:
AIM : To verify Reciprocity Theorem.
APPARATUS:
(1) Regulated power supply (D.C) 0 - 30V 2
(2) Board containing the network 1
(3) Ammeters 0 - 250 mA 3
(4) Voltmeter 0 - 30 V 1
THEORY:
The reciprocity theorem states that in a linear, bilateral, single source network the ratio of
excitation to response is constant when the positions of excitation and response are
interchanged.
On the basis of mesh current analysis with a single voltage source acting in the network, the
theorem may be demonstrated by considering the following equation for mesh current Ir.
Ir = V1 (1r/z) + V2 (2r/z) +……….. + Vr (rr / z) + Vs (sr / z)
Let the only source in the network be Vs then
Ir = Vs (sr / z)
The ratio of excitation to response is
Vs / Ir = z / sr = Ztransfer sr ------------------------------(1)
Now when the position excitation and response are interchanged the source becomes Vr and
the current Is.
Is = Vr(rs / z)
The ratio of excitation to response is
Vr / Is = z / rs = Ztransfer rs --------------------------(2)
The two transfer impedances in (1) and (2) are equal in any linear, bilateral network since in
such networks the impedance matrix [z] is symmetrical with respect to the principal diagonal,
and the cofactors rs and sr are equal. Thus the current in mesh r which results from a voltage
source in mesh s is the same as the current in mesh s when the voltage source is moves to mesh.
It must be noted that currents in other parts of the network will not remain same.
16
The reciprocity theorem also applies to networks containing a single current source. Here the
theorem states that the voltage which results at a pair of terminal m n due to a current source
acting at terminals a b is the same as the voltage at terminals a b when the current source is
moved at terminals m n. It should be noted that voltages at other points in the network would
not remain the same.
PROCEDURE:
1. For the circuit shown in figure (4), calculate the values of current (I) for different values of
source voltage and record them in the observation table.
2. Connect the circuit as shown in figure (4), measure then values of current (I) (for source voltage

same values as in step 1) and record them in the observation table.

TELLEGEN`S THEOREM
THEORY :
Tellegen`s Theorem is one of the most general theorems in network theory. It applies to
any network made up of lumped two terminal network elements, regardless of their nature,
i.e., the elements may be linear or non-linear, passive or active, time invariant or time
varying. The circuit may contains independent of dependent sources.
If N1 and N2 are two different circuits, as shown in fig (4) and fig(5), having the same graph
with the same reference directions assigned to the branches in the two circuits. Let vk and
ik be the voltages and currents in N1 and vk` and ik` similarly be the voltages and currents
17

EXPERIMENT NO: 6 DATE:
AIM : (i) To determine z parameters of a given Two–Port Resistive
Network.
(ii) To determine the z – parameters of series connection of two 2-port
resistive networks and verify the result by direct calculation.
APPARATUS :
(1) Ammeter 0-50mA 2
(2) Voltmeter 0-10V 1
(3) Regulated power supply 0 - 30V. 1
(4) Board containing two port network 1
THEORY:
In electrical network theory a port may be regarded as a pair of terminals in which current
in to one terminal equals the current out of the other. A network may have one, two or n
ports in general. A one port network is completely identified when voltage current
relationship at the terminals of the port is given.
A general two port network shown in fig (1) has two pairs of voltage - current relationships.
The V1 and I1 are the variables at port 1 and V2 and I2 are the variables at port 2. Only
two of the four variables are independent and specifications of any two of them
determine the remaining two. The dependence of two of the four variables on the other
two is described in a number of ways, depending on which of the variables are chosen to
be independent variables. As such there are six possible sets of equations describing a two
port network, six different types of parameters are defined as z parameters, y parameters,
transmission parameters, inverse transmission parameters, hybrid parameters and inverse
hybrid parameters.
Z - parameters:
In case of z parameters, V1 and V2 are expressed in terms of I1 and I2.
i.e. V1 = z11 I1 + z12 I2 - (1)
V2 = z21 I1 + z22 I2 - (2)
These parameters may be defined in terms of a single voltage and current by letting either
I1 = 0 or I2 = 0.
20
Thus,
V1
z11 = ___
I1 I2 = 0
V1
z12 = ___
I2 I1 = 0
V2
z21 = ___
I1 I2 = 0
V2
z22 = ____
I2 I1 = 0
It may be observed that (i) all the z parameters have the dimensions of impedance
and (ii) they are specified only when the current in one of ports is zero i.e open
circuit at port 1 or port 2. Hence z parameters are designated as open circuit
impedance parameters.
Z – PARAMETERS OF SERIES CONNECTION OF TWO 2-PORT
RESISTIVE NETWORK:
Two port network analysis is useful for finding different parameters. The z
Parameters are useful in characterizing series connected two port networks. They
are found under open circuit conditions and hence they are referred as open circuit
impedance functions. They are defined and found as under:
The z parameters are useful in characterizing series connected two port networks.
The overall z parameters from the individual z parameters can be found as under
when the networks are connected in series.

For overall network N

Note that
I1 = I1a = I1b and V1 = V1a + V1b
I2 = I2a = I2b and V2 = V2a + V2b ------(4)
Combining equation (1), (2) and (4), we get
V1
=
Z11a+z11b z12a +z12b I1
V2 Z21a+z21b z22a +z22b I2 ---------(5)
Comparing equation (5) with equation (3), we get
z11 = z11a + z11b
z12 = z12a + z12b
z21 = z21a + z21b
z22 = z22a + z22b ----------------(6)
This result may be generalized for any number of networks connected i
n series. The individual parameters are added to determine the overall Z
parameters.

hybrid parameter representation. In this form of representation, the voltage of the
input poet and the current of the output port are expressed in terms of the current

AIM : To study the response in R-L-C series circuit and determine various time
response specifications.
APPARATUS:
( i ) Decade resistance
(ii ) Decade capacitance
(iii ) Decade inductance
(iv) C.R.O.
( v ) Square wave generator.
THEORY : The behaviour of a circuit or system which contains two independent energy
storing elements is completely determined by a second order differential
equation.
For the circuit in fig (1) writing equation by applying KVL we get,
L di/dt + Ri + 1/c I dt = V
On differentiation,
L d2i / dt2 + R di/dt + 1/c i = 0
d2i / dt2 + R/L di / dt + 1/LC i = 0
Roots of characteristics equation are given by
s1 , s2 = - R/2L + (R/2L)2 -(1/LC)
On this basis, we can predict the nature of response for three conditions.
(i ) (R/2L)2 > 1/LC , the response is over damped. Roots are real negative and
distinct.
(ii ) (R/2L)2 = 1/LC , roots are equal and negative repeated roots.
The response is critically damped, the values of resistance to achieve this is
called critical resistance, Rcr.
Hence
(Rcr/ 2L )2 = 1/LC
which give Rcr = 2 L / C
(iii) (R/2L)2 < 1/LC , we get under damped response. Roots are complex
conjugate. Resistance R is less than RCR We define damping ratio = R /
RCR = actual damping / critical damping
44
(iv) Natural frequency of oscillation is given by wn = 1 / LC
It yields information about settling time ( ts ) i.e. the time to reach steady state
value. The larger the wn the smaller the value will be the settling time.
For under-damped system damping frequency of oscillation is given
wd = wn (1- 2 ) rad / sec
Percentage overshoot is determined the ratio of maximum overshoot above final
steady level of square wave to find steady wave to final steady state level.
PROCEDURE:
(1) Connect the given circuit as shown in fig(1) and supply a square voltage of
any magnitudes.
(2) Starting from zero, increase the value of R to adjust the response to a
critical damped case. At critical resistance, C.R.O will show a good square
wave. Note down the value of RCR and compare it with theoretical values
(given RCR =2 L/C )
(3) Adjust the resistance R < RCR and get under-damped response on C.R.O.
= R / RCR = is known as damping ratio.
(4) Find the damped frequency of oscillation Wd = 2 / Td is obtained from
C.R.O. shown in fig. where Td is on obtained from C.R.O as shown in
fig(2) compare with the theoretical
(5) Find percentage peak overshoot from C.R.O as shown in fig (2)
Peak overshoot :- a/b X 100
Compare it with theoretical value given by
peak overshoot = e-- / (1 -- 2) x 100
(6) Repeat above steps for another value of R in order to get under-damped
response.

C = _________

through the capacitor must equal the current through the resistor. This results in the
linear differential equation.
CdV/dt + V/R = 0
Solving this equation for V yields the formula for exponential decay:
V (t) = Vo e -t/RC
Where Vo is the capacitor voltage at time t = 0.
The time required for the voltage to fall to is called the RC time constant and is
given by
τ = RC
The time required for the voltage to fall to is called the RC time constant and is
given by RC circuits are frequently used to model the timing characteristics of
computer systems. When one logic gate drives another gate, the input circuit of the
second gate can be modeled as an RC load. The propagation delay through the first
gate can then be calculated assuming ideal square wave input and the RC load. The
longer the delay time, the slower the circuit can be switched and the slower the
computer is. Conversely, the shorter the delay time, the faster the computer is. This
delay time is called “gate delay” since it relates to driving characteristics of a logic
gate. Another use of RC circuits is to model wiring characteristics of bus lines on
48
integrated circuits (IC) or on printer-circuit boards (PCB). A wire can be modeled
as many cascaded sections of simple RC circuits as shown in Figure 3 using 2
sections. When a square wave is applied to one end of the bus, it takes time for the
signal to propagate to the other end. This delay time due to the wire can be
calculated based on the values of R and C in each section and the number of sections
used to model the wire. The longer the wire, the more sections are needed for
accurate model. A wire is also referred to as “interconnect” and the delay due to a
wire is also called “interconnect delay.” In high-frequency systems, the
interconnect delay tends to dominate the gate delay and is a fundamental constraint
on how fast a computer can operate.
PROCEDURE :
(1) Build the circuit in Figure 2 using R = 10 Kand C = 0.01 F. Set the function
generator to provide a square wave input as follows:
a) Period T 3 ms (to ensure that T >> RC). This value of T guarantees that the
output signal has sufficient time to reach a final value before the next input
transition. Record the value of T. b) Set amplitude from 0 V to 5 V. Note that you
need to set the offset to achieve this waveform. Use the oscilloscope to display this
waveform on Channel 1 to make sure the amplitude is correct. We use this
amplitude since it is common in computer systems.
(2) Use Channel 2 of the oscilloscope to display the output signal waveform.
Adjust the timebase to display 2 complete cycles of the signals. Record the
maximum and the minimum values of the output signal.
(3) Use the measurement capability of the scope to measure the period T of the
input signal, the time value of the 10%-point of Vout, the time value of the 90%-
point of Vout, and the time value of the 50%-point of Vout.
(4) Clear all the measurements. Use the paired measurement capability of the
scope to measure the voltage and time values at 10 points on the Vout waveform
during one interval when Vout rises or falls with time (pick one interval only). Note
that the time values should be referred to time t = 0 at the point where the input
signal rises from 0 V to 5 V or falls from 5 V to 0 V. Record these 10 measurements.

For R-C cascaded sections:-
(1) Build the circuit in Figure 3, using 2 identical resistors R = 10 Kand two
identical capacitors C = 0.01 F. Use the same square input as above and display it
on Channel 1.
(2) Display Vout on Channel 2 and adjust the timebase to display 2 complete cycles
of the signals.
(3) Use the scope measurement capability to measure the two delay times tPHL and
tPLH between the input and output signals.

fc = 1/2πRC
