Network Theorems – Part 1
Lab Experiment No. 5
Intro to EE, Freshman Practicum
I. Introduction
The purpose of this lab is to gain familiarity with several important Electrical Engineering theorems. The experiments
performed in this lab involve the following concepts –
 Superposition theorem
 Learn how a semiconductor device called a zener diode can be used as a reasonable alternative to a voltage
source
The theory and equations associated with these experiments are covered in your class notes. Your job in this session is
to investigate and apply the above theorems on resistive networks to provide a hands-on experience to the theory covered
in the lectures on these topics. For each of the networks given below, use the parts supplied by the GTA, and the DMM
and dc power supply located on the lab bench.
II. Experiment Procedures
Procedures for performing experiments on a collection of resistive networks are attached. These experiments involve the
theory and applications covered in the lecture on superposition, thevenin’s equivalent and Zener diode operation. In
your lab report, provide detailed answers and discussions to the following –
• Discussion.
(a) With respect to resistor tolerance, are the results of the measurements within tolerance to calculated values
using specified component values?
(b) Explain reasons for any discrepancies between calculated and measured results.
(c) How useful are these theorems and operations? Can you think of any specific applications?
III. Superposition

1. Build network N4 shown in Figure 1 on multisim.
2. Measure the values of each resistor with the DMM and record in Table 1(a) where indicated.
3. Perform the following operations.
a. With EG1 turned on and operating, measure its value and record in Table 1(a) then turn off voltage source
EG2 by removing it from the connection and replacing it with a short circuit,
i. calculate voltage VAB using the specified component values and record in Table 1(b),
ii. calculate voltage VAB using the measured component values and record in Table 1(b),
iii. measure with the DMM voltage VAB from the breadboard and record in Table 1(b), and
iv. calculate the difference in percent (%) between VAB measured and VAB calculated with specified
component values as the basis, and record in Table 1(b).
b. With EG2 turned on and operating, measure its value and record in Table 1(a) then turn off voltage source
EG1 by removing it from the connection and replacing it with a short circuit,
i. calculate voltage VAB using the specified component values and record in Table 1(b),
ii. calculate voltage VAB using the measured component values and record in Table 1(b),
iii. measure with the DMM voltage VAB from the breadboard and record in Table 1(b), and
iv. calculate the difference in percent (%) between VAB measured and VAB calculated with specified
component values as the basis, and record in Table 1(b).
c. Apply the superposition theorem to
i. calculate the total voltage for VAB by adding the values calculated from specified component values,
record in Table 1(b), and
ii. calculate the total voltage for VAB by adding the values calculated from measured component values,
record in Table 1(b).
d. With EG1 and EG2 turned on and operating,
i. measure the total voltage VAB directly from N4, and
ii. calculate the difference in percent (%) between the total VAB measured from N4 (3di) and the total
VAB calculated with specified component values (3ci) as the basis, and record in Table 1(b).
4. Provide comments on the accuracy of superposition for providing precise voltage measurements and on the
ease of making these measurements.

Build the circuit shown in Figure 4 in multisim. Include a voltmeter to measure the voltage across the 4.3 V
source with the reference shown and an ammeter to measure the current flowing right to left through the 4.3 V
source. (Note: for easy wiring, you can right-click on the meters in your circuit, and flip them horizontally.) on
multisim.
Change the resistor tolerance to 0 %.
Run the simulation. Enter the voltage and current into the appropriate place of Table 4
Replace the 4.3 V source with the zener diode (model number 1N749A) as shown in Figure 5. Repeat Step 3
with supply voltages (Vsupply) of between ± 20 V in steps of 4 V (i.e., -20 V, -16 V, -12 V, etc.) and place
your results in Table 5 in the lab report and in your lab note section..
Plot the I-V characteristics of the diode using the data from Table 5 of the Lab Report. You should either do a
**CLEAR** plot by hand or use a program like EXCEL and paste the results in the space provided
Turn in your completed lab report to your TA.
