Measure the open-circuit output voltage, VOC, at the output terminals where RL would be connected. Use the lower terminal for the voltmeter’s negative lead. VOC = __________ 2. Now measure the short-circuit output current, ISC, through the circuit path where RL would be connected. Remember that an ammeter is inherently a short-circuit itself, so you need only place the ammeter leads the same way you placed the voltmeter leads to complete the circuit. ISC = __________ (RL) 2.2 k 100 1.5 k 6.8 k 330 18 V © 2007 Simon J. Tritschler. All Rights Reserved. 3. Calculate the Thévenin equivalent resistance of the circuit, RTh, by dividing the open-circuit output voltage by the short-circuit output current. RTh = VOC / ISC = __________
