Procedure:
1. Connect the load at the output of the network and measure the current through the
load
2. Apply a DC voltage from voltage source to be input terminals of the network and
measure the output voltage Vth(Voc) without load.

3. Disconnect the voltage source and load, short the input terminals of the network and
measure the Thevenins equivalent resistance (Rth) at output terminals.
4. Now Connect the Thevinis equivalent circuit
5. Adjust the input voltage of the voltage source that is equal to Thevenins voltage and
apply to the input terminals of the equivalent circuit with load.
6. Measure the load current I
