Procedure

Construct the circuit in Figure $2$ using the resistor values given and connect $R_L(1K)$ to the load. Measure $V_{RL}$ and calculate the power dissipated on $R_L$

To find $V_{TH},$ measure open$-$circuit voltage at terminals a$-$b of the circuit.

To find $R_{TH}$ deactivate the voltage source and measure the resistance at port ab$.$

Activate the source, and measure the short circuit current at part a$-$b and use it for calculating $R_{TH}$ again. Compare the results of steps $3$ and $4.$

Construct the Thevenin equivalent circuit with the values you obtained. Connect $R_L(1K)$ to this circuit and measure $V_{ab}$ again. Compare the result with the one you obtained in step $1.$ Calculate the power dissipated in $R_L.$

Replace $R_L$ with $R_{TH}$ you have found. Measure $V_{ab}$ and calculate the power again.

Comment on the results considering maximum power transfer.

Be careful about units. Forgotten units will not be graded!Circuit
