CONSTRUCT AND VERIFY SUBSTITUTION THEOREM

Upon successful completion of this experiment, the student will be able to

• Construct the Substitution Theorem

• Verify the Substitution Theorem

EQUIREMENTS:
• Network and bridge network
• DC Power supply
• Digital Multimeter
• Connecting leads
NOTE:
• Before making any connection to the circuit make sure that the power supply is off.
• Take care the equipment. They can be damaged by misuse.
• Before switch on the supply, get it be checked by your teacher.

DISCUSSION:
SUBSTITUTION THEOREM
Substitution theorem states that” if voltage across or current through any element is known then
that element can be replaced by that voltage or current source without the change in the initial
conditions of the network “.
The concept of this theorem is based on the substitution of one element from another element.

EXPERMENTAL PROCEDURE:

1. First of all, take three resistors and make the circuit as shown in figure 12.1.
2. Measure the voltage across each resistor by voltmeter and note down values in observation
table 12.1.
3. Select the resistor R3 and replace it by its known voltage source as shown in figure 12.2.
4. Now measure the voltage across each resistor again by using voltmeter and write down
values in observation table 12.2.
5. Compare the voltages across each resistor before and after substitution of voltage source.
