Theory for Thevenins Theorem

It states that in any lumped, linear network having more number of sources and elements the equivalent circuit across any branch can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of Theremin's equivalent voltage source Vth in series with Theremin's equivalent resistance Rth. Where Vth is the open circuit voltage across (branch) the two terminals and Rth is the resistance seen from the same two terminals by replacing all other sources with internal resistances.

Thevenin's theorem: The values of VTh and RTh are determined as mentioned in thevenin's theorem. Once the thevenin equivalent circuit is obtained, then current through any load resistance RL connected across AB is given by, I =VTH / RTH + RL

Thevenin's theorem is applied to d.c. circuits as stated below. Any network having terminals A and B can be replaced by a single source of e.m.f. Vim, in series with a source resistance RTh

(i) The e.m.f the voltage obtained across the terminals A and B with load, if any removed i.e., it is open circuited voltage between terminals A and B.

(ii) The resistance RTh is the resistance of the network measured between the terminals A and B with load removed and sources of e.m.f replaced by their internal resistances. Ideal voltage sources are replaced with short circuits and ideal current sources are replaced with open circuits.

To find Wit the load resistor `RL' is disconnected, then VTh = [V / (R1 + R2)] x R3

To find RTH, RTH = R2 + (R1 x R3 / R1+ R3)

Thevenins Theorem is also called as Helmoltz Theorem.

  • Connect the circuit as per fig (1)
  • Adjust the output voltage of the regulated power supply to an appropriate value (Say 20V).
  • Note down the response (current, IL) through the branch of interest i.e. AB (ammeter reading).
  • Reduce the output voltage of the regulated power supply to 0V and switch–off the supply.
  • Disconnect the circuit and connect as per the fig (2).
  • Adjust the output voltage of the regulated power supply to 20V.
  • Note down the voltage across the load terminals AB (Voltmeter reading) that gives Vth.
  • Disconnect the circuit and connect as per the fig (3).
  • Connect the digital multimeter(DMM) across AB terminals and it should be kept in resistance mode to measure Thevenin's resistance(RTh).

Introduction

thevenin theorem lab experiment

In this tutorial, we present a powerful method that can simplify through some transformation steps, complex circuits into elementary circuits and this method is commonly known as Thevenin’s theorem .

Originally, it was the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz who first demonstrated the theorem in 1853, but history kept the name of the French engineer Leon Thevenin , who in 1883, unawarely of the work of Helmholtz, proposed a more elegant method to prove the theorem.

We will illustrate this statement in the first section where we also define the bold terms of the theorem. In the second section, we present the method to follow in detail, in order to apply Thevenin’s theorem to a circuit.

Finally, some Thevenin transformations are fully depicted in the last section with real circuits taken as examples.

Presentation and definitions

As previously mentioned, Thevenin’s theorem can only be applied to linear electrical circuits (LEC). The internal structure of LEC consist of interconnected ideal sources and resistors . Reactive components such as capacitors and inductors must be excluded since their voltage/current characteristics are not described by a linear formula.

An ideal voltage source consists of a generator that delivers a constant value of voltage regardless of the current flowing in the circuit. This means that the same ideal source will always deliver the same voltage V s for any circuit connected at its terminals. This property ensures that the voltage/current characteristic of an ideal voltage source is constant and therefore is linear.

thevenin theorem lab experiment

Ideal current sources can also be found in LEC and consist of generators that provide a constant value of current regardless of the voltage at their terminals. A representation of an ideal current source along with its and voltage/current characteristic is proposed in Figure 2 below:

thevenin theorem lab experiment

An equivalent resistor R eq is simply a concept that represents the association of a set of interconnected resistors (R 1 , R 2 ,…) into a single component. The association of resistors is dictated by two rules:

  • If the resistors share the same current (in series), the equivalent resistance is the sum of the resistors.
  • If the resistors share the same voltage (in parallel), the inverse of the equivalent resistance is the sum of the inverses of the resistors.

thevenin theorem lab experiment

Now that these various definitions have been detailed, we can illustrate Thevenin’s theorem with the following Figure 4 :

thevenin theorem lab experiment

The simpler circuit obtained from the Thevenin transformation is known as the Thevenin model . The equivalent source and resistance are labeled with the subscript Th as a reference to the name of the theorem.

In the next section, we give the abstract method in order to determine this model from any LEC.

Thevenin model determination

The goal of this section is to present how the Thevenin parameters V Th and R Th are determined.

Thevenin’s voltage V Th is the voltage between the terminals of the LEC when the load is disconnected and it is also known as the open-circuit voltage.

Similarly, Thevenin’s resistance R Th is the resistance at the terminals of the circuit when the load is disconnected and all the circuit’s sources are disabled, the voltage sources are replaced with short-circuits and the current sources with open-circuits.

We propose therefore a series of steps to follow in order to determine the Thevenin model of any LEC:

  • Remove the load at the terminals of the LEC
  • Compute the voltage of the open-circuit
  • Replace any voltage sources with short-circuits and the current-sources with open-circuits
  • Compute the equivalent resistance
  • Reconnect the load and draw the Thevenin model thanks to the knowledge of V Th and R Th

In the following section, we illustrate this method by determining the Thevenin model of some LEC examples with increased architecture complexity.

Thevenin’s model of some LEC

Single voltage source.

For the first example, we consider a basic LEC composed of only one voltage source and two resistors in a parallel configuration:

thevenin theorem lab experiment

In order to determine Thevenin’s model, first of all, we proceed to steps number 1 and 2 explained in the previous section. When disconnecting the load Z from the circuit, we compute the voltage at the terminals of the LEC, that is to say across the resistor R 2 , by applying the voltage divider method:

thevenin theorem lab experiment

After replacing the parameters by their values, we obtain V Th =2.5 V .

We consider now the circuit by replacing the voltage source by a wire. The equivalent Thevenin resistance is the parallel association of the resistors R 1 and R 2 :

thevenin theorem lab experiment

The numerical application gives R Th =500 Ω .

The circuit presented in Figure 5 can, therefore, be simplified by the equivalent Thevenin’s model presented in Figure 6 :

thevenin theorem lab experiment

The voltage and current across any load Z are now much easier and faster to compute. As an example, if Z=100 Ω , we can use again the voltage divider formula to find V Z =0.4 V . The current is obtained by applying Ohm’s law to the resistance Z: I=V Z /Z=4 mA .

Single current source

For the second example, we consider a similar circuit than in Figure 5, but replacing the voltage source by an ideal current source and rearranging the resistors:

thevenin theorem lab experiment

First of all, we disconnect the load Z from the circuit in order to determine V Th :

thevenin theorem lab experiment

When applying Kirchoff’s Voltage Law in the loop highlighted with the red symbol, we find V Th =V 2 -V 1 . However, since the circuit is opened, no current is observed across R 1 and therefore V Th =V 2 . The current flowing in R 2 is thus equal to the current source, we finally apply Ohm’s law to R 2 in order to find V Th =100×2=200 V .

Thevenin’s resistance R Th is found by replacing the current source by an open circuit, the equivalent resistor is determined by the series association of R 1 and R 2 : R Th =R 1 +R 2 =150 Ω .

Figure 8 below illustrates the Thevenin model of the circuit presented in Figure 7:

thevenin theorem lab experiment

Multi-current/voltage sources

For this last example, we propose a more complex circuit that includes both current and voltage sources:

thevenin theorem lab experiment

We disconnect the load in order to determine the voltage V Th . It comes automatically that i 4 =0 since the circuit becomes open. Kirchoff’s current law affirms that I=i 1 +i 2 +i 3 , moreover, we can assert thanks to Kirchoff’s voltage law that:

  • i 1 =i 2 +V 1 /R
  • i 1 =i 3 -V 2 /R

After rearranging these three equations, we can isolate i 1 =(I+V 1 /R-V 2 /R)/3. Thevenin’s voltage is simply given by R×i 1 , therefore, V Th =(RI+V 1 -V 2 )/3 .

We replace the current source by an open circuit and shorten the voltage sources in order to determine R Th :

thevenin theorem lab experiment

The equivalent resistance is given by the parallel association of 3 resistors in series with R, which leads to R Th =R+R/3=4R/3 .

Thevenin’s model of Figure 9 is finally given by:

thevenin theorem lab experiment

“Any linear electrical circuit is equivalent to an ideal voltage source in series with an equivalent resistor .” This sentence, known as Thevenin’s theorem , was the focus of this article.

In the first section, we define the bold terms which give the framework where the theorem can be applied. A linear electrical circuit (LEC) is an interconnection of ideal sources and resistors. Ideal sources are further defined as sources with a perfectly flat voltage/current characteristic. An equivalent resistor is simply a concept that allows us to regroup a set of interconnected resistors into a single component.

In a short second section, we abstractly present how to determine the Thevenin model of any LEC by following a series of steps.

The third section illustrates, with real examples, how to transform a LEC into its equivalent Thevenin’s model. First, we clarify how to proceed for circuits containing either voltage or current sources. Finally, we demonstrate how to perform the transformation with a more complex LEC containing both sources and more resistors.

It becomes especially clear with the last example that Thevenin’s model is a powerful tool to transform complex linear circuits into elementary circuits containing only one source and a resistor.

Thevenin’s Theorem. Step by Step Procedure with Solved Example

Thevenin’s Theorem in DC Circuit Analysis

A French engineer, M.L Thevenin , made one of these quantum leaps in 1893. Thevenin’s Theorem  (also known as Helmholtz–Thévenin Theorem ) is not by itself an analysis tool, but the basis for a very useful method of simplifying active circuits and complex networks . This theorem is useful to quickly and easily solve complex linear circuits and networks, especially electric circuits and electronic networks.

Thevenin’s Theorem  may be stated below:

Any linear electric network or a complex circuit with current and voltage sources can be replaced by an equivalent circuit containing a single independent voltage source V TH and a Series Resistance R TH .
  • V TH = Thevenin’s Voltage
  • R TH = Thevenin’s  Resistance

Steps to Analyze an Electric Circuit using Thevenin’s Theorem

  • Open the load resistor.
  • Calculate / measure the open circuit voltage. This is the Thevenin Voltage (V TH ) .
  • Open current sources and short voltage sources.
  • Calculate /measure the Open Circuit Resistance. This is the Thevenin Resistance (R TH ) .
  • Now, redraw the circuit with measured open circuit Voltage (V TH ) in Step (2) as voltage source and measured open circuit resistance (R TH ) in step (4) as a series resistance and connect the load resistor which we had removed in Step (1). This is the equivalent Thevenin circuit of that linear electric network or complex circuit which had to be simplified and analyzed by Thevenin’s Theorem . You have done it.
  • Now find the Total current flowing through the load resistor by using the Ohm’s Law : I T = V TH / (R TH + R L ).

Solved Example by Thevenin’s Theorem:

Thevenin's Theorem. Easy Step by Step Procedure with Example (Pictorial Views)

Calculate / measure the open circuit voltage. This is the Thevenin Voltage (V TH ) . Fig (3).

We have already removed the load resistor in figure 1, so the circuit became an open circuit as shown in fig 2. Now we have to calculate the Thevenin’s Voltage. Since 3mA current flows in both 12kΩ and 4kΩ resistors as this is a series circuit and current will not flow in the 8kΩ resistor as it is open.

This way, 12V (3mA  x 4kΩ) will appear across the 4kΩ resistor . We also know that current is not flowing through the 8kΩ resistor as it is an open circuit, but the 8kΩ resistor is in parallel with 4k resistor . So the same voltage i.e. 12V will appear across the 8kΩ resistor as well as 4kΩ resistor. Therefore 12V will appear across the AB terminals. i.e,

Thevenin's Theorem may be stated below:

Open current sources and short voltage sources as shown below. Fig (4)

Thevenin's Theorem: Simple explanation

Calculate / measure the open circuit resistance . This is the Thevenin Resistance (R TH )

We have removed the 48V DC source to zero as equivalent i.e. 48V DC source has been replaced with a short in step 3 (as shown in figure 3).  We can see that 8kΩ resistor is in series with a parallel connection of 4kΩ resistor and  12k Ω resistor. i.e.:

8kΩ + (4k Ω || 12kΩ) ….. (|| = in parallel with)

R TH = 8kΩ +  [(4kΩ x 12kΩ) / (4kΩ + 12kΩ)]

R TH = 8kΩ + 3kΩ

R TH = 11kΩ

Thevenin's Theorem solved examples

Connect the R TH in series with Voltage Source V TH and re-connect the load resistor. This is shown in fig (6) i.e. Thevenin circuit with load resistor. This the Thevenin’s equivalent circuit .

Thevenin's equivalent circuit

Now apply the last step i.e  Ohm’s law . Calculate the total load current and load voltage as shown in fig 6.

I L = V TH / (R TH + R L )

I L = 12V / (11kΩ + 5kΩ) → = 12/16kΩ

I L = 0.75mA

V L = I L x R L

V L = 0.75mA x 5kΩ

V L = 3.75V

thevenin's theorem examples thevenin's theorem solved problems

Now compare this simple circuit with the original circuit shown in figure 1. Do you see how much easier it will be to measure and calculate the load current in complex circuit and network for different load resistors by Thevenin’s Theorem ? Yes and only yes.

Good to know: Both Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems can be applied to both AC and DC circuits containing difference components such as resistors , inductors and capacitors etc. Keep in mind that the Thevenin’s voltage “V TH ” in AC circuit is expressed in complex number (polar form) whereas, the Thevenin’s resistance “R TH ” is stated in rectangular form.

It is simple example for ref & explanation purpose only…Wait for upcoming posts….Thanks

Surely when the load resistor is replaced the circuit changes and the 8k and 5k are in parallel with the 4k causing the cu

Surely when the load resistor is replaced the circuit changes and the 8k and 5k are in parallel with the 4k causing the current and voltage to change oops just figured it out the long way and the 5k gets 3.75 out of the 9.75 volts across that part of the circuit your way of showing thevenin is better thank you

Thanks for your kind words…

If the voltage source is more than one you calculate two components of Nortons current that is I’ and I”, add them to get the total Nortons current and repeat the procedure explained above.

Admin. You are doing great work. Your posts related to electricals are easy to learn. . . Keep updating. . .

Thanks for appreciation…

Thevenin's Theorem is not very intuitive for a newbie, good to have this nice easy to follow explanation.

simple and good steps for easy understanding

Good one for basic understanding of theorems :)<br />

How did u get 3mA?

I = V / R …<br />= 48V / (12kΩ + 4kΩ )<br />= 3mA <br /><br />So 3mA Current will flow in both 12kΩ and 4kΩ resistors as this is a series circuit because current will not flow in the 8kΩ resistor as it is open<br /><br />

If the rounded off value of 3mA is used to find Vth you get 12V. If the less rounded off value of 3.273mA is used we’d get 13V.

when the load terminals are open then all the current passes through only first circuit and the current is from v=i/r can be calculated

1st of all find req than by v=ir , i=v/r we can get the value of current

Thanku. <br />What happens when there is 2 voltage sources?

Use Kirchhoff law

Thanks for appreciation….

why you solve 12 and 4 as parallel?

If you see in step 4, 8kΩ resistor is in series with a parallel connection of 4kΩ resistor and 12k Ω resistor. i.e. If you solve for the parallel connection of 4kΩ resistor and 12k Ω, It becomes in Series with 8kΩ.

In step 2, The Circuit is Open, Hence, Current will not flow in 8kΩ, Therefore, That’s Why it is in parallel with 4kΩ.

will you please add step by step procedure for dual loops that will help alot Thanx in advance

sir I have a confusion when you calculate Rth because I dont think that Rth=8+4||12. But It should be Rth=12+4||8. Am I wrong Sir ?, if so then please guide me. Thanks Ankit

As mentioned above that We can see that 8kΩ resistor is in series with a parallel connection of 4kΩ resistor and 12k Ω resistor. i.e.: 8kΩ + (4k Ω || 12kΩ)

Saqib Javeed is Right…. Thanks

simply superb

Thank you very much, this was the best explanation available on the internet

Thanks for appreciation …

Was very helpful…thanks a billion times ?

Most Welcome….

Awesome explanation. It’s very useful to us, Thank you!!

Most welcome… And thanks for appreciation….

have we already been provided with 3Am or you have solved it? if you have solved it how have you done it?? a ain’t sure if I have followed you on that one

It is not provided. In Step 2, You may see that this is an Open Circuit, I.e. Current will not flow in the 8kΩ. So the circuit of 48V, 4kΩ and 12kΩ becomes a series circuit. By using Ohms Law, (I = V/R), We found the value of current as 3mA. Thanks

what will be total R in the circuit if 4k shud the load resistance in revolving towards the source

You may just change the value of the resistance and solve again same as above…. No Difficulties…. :)

you said 8k resistor is parallel to 4k resistor in step 2.in step 4 you said 8k resistor is sereis to 4k.why?

Yes Dear…. If you see in step 4, 8kΩ resistor is in series with a parallel connection of 4kΩ resistor and 12k Ω resistor. i.e. If you solve for the parallel connection of 4kΩ resistor and 12k Ω, It becomes in Series with 8kΩ.

In step 2, The Circuit is Open, Hence, Current will not flow in 8kΩ, Therefore, That’s Why it is in parallel with 4kΩ. Thanks. let me know if you want to know more… Thanks

wow. thank you. now i understand. :)

thank you for this. but how about 3 sources using this theorem?

Please how was the 3mA current gotten ?

can you explain to me about how did you get 12V as it is 48V?

IT IS GOOD BUT I WILL LIKE IT IF IT SOLVED USING SMALL NUMBERS LIKE 3,4,2 TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE SIMPLER

Am happy for the steps of thevenins i cam now calculate but following the steps

sir please tell me….is this the right and only method to solve problems by thevenin’s theorem?

Yes! But you can analyze the same problem by different methods as well.

can you please tell me the different methods sir?

please respond quick!!

Very good explanation. I tend to solve complex circuits using Kirchoff’s laws…Are there particular cases when one method is favourably used instead of the other? ( I have not read all posts…maybe you have already gone into this)

how did u get 3mA

3mA current will flows in both 12kΩ and 4kΩ resistors as it is a series circuit because current will not flow in the 8kΩ resistor as it is open (Fig 2)
