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.
