3.8 RESULT:
Erom the table above, It is observed that the actual value of load current, I, is equal with the calculated
value of the load current IL, Hence, Norton's theorem is verified with some permissible error.
3.9 PRECAUTIONS:
> Before connecting the DC supply, the zero readings of ammeter and voltmeter should be checked
> Check all the resistances and connecting wires are properly connected on the bread board.
>Terminals of voltage source of the kit should not be short circuited, only circuit on the bread
board, should be short circuited.
> Current in the ammeter is in mille amperes not in amperes.
> Connections should be tight and correct.
> Terminals of rheostat should be connected properly.
