Verification of NETWORK THEOREMS (Maximum
Power Transfer Theorem)

Aim/Objective:

To verify the Maximum Power Transfer Theorem for a given circuit which
delivers a power to a load resistance when, RL=Rth.

Apparatus/Tool required:

1. ORCAD / Capture CIS --> Analog Library – R,

Source Library – Voltage dc source, Curent dc source &

Ground (GND) – 0 (zero)

Special library - PARAM

2. Simulation Settings : Analysis Type - DC sweep

Precautions:
1. Very careful while giving values.
2. Be aware of giving the same parameter name as given in PARAM.
3. Carefully take the final value by observing the graph properly.

Procedure:
1. Create a new project and set up a circuit as given.
2. Get a device called PARAM from the special library by which we can
use for varying the value of element ie,resistance Rv
3. So, give a name to a resistance which to be varied.
4. After placing PARAM create new column in that and give value ie,5ohm
as given in circuit.
5. Now create a new simulation.
6. Select a DC sweep analyisis type and select a sweep variable type called
global parameter and give a parameter name as same name as given in
step 3 .
7. Now give a start and end value to vary the value b/w some range.
8. Now after applying ,RUN the simulation .
9. Graph will be opened and add traces by applying formula I2Rv.
 10.So, finally we get graph Power vs Rv which as a maxima =maximum
power transfered through variable resistance Rv .
11.Finally we will be getting the simulated maximum power value .
12.So, even make a manual calculation and if it is matching with the
simulated maximum power value then, theorem is verified.

Statement:

Maximum Power Transfer Theorem:

Maximum Power Transfer Theorem that “maximum power is transferred from the source

to the load when the load resistance is equal to the Thevenin’s equivalent resistance”.

Manual Calculations:

To Find Vth:

By applying node analysis at Va and Vb ;

To Find Rth:

From the circuit by short circuiting all voltage source and opening all current
source , we get
To Find Power:

From the equivalent circuit

Equivalent Circuit:
Simulation Circuit:

To Find Rth:

1ohm and 10ohm are in parallel and together in series with 15ohm.

ie;

Req=1*10/1+10=o.9ohm

Rth=Req +15

Rth = o.9+15=15.9ohm

To Find Power:

Through GRAPH:

From Power vs RL,

Maximum peak of the graph is pointing at the Yaxis=53.149 ie , max power

Yaxis: Power

Xaxis: RL
Result:

Maximum Power Transfer Theorm

1] Manual Calculations:

According to the manual calculation for max power transfer RL=Rth =15.9ohm

Therefore ,maximum power transfer through the RL =53.223 watt

2] Simulated Result:
Hence according to the above graph we can see,

Maximum power transfer through variable RL =53.149 watt

Inference:

Hence maximum power transfer theorm is verified by both Manually and Simulated

which are nearly getting same value .
