Day 09 03/24/2015 Non-Ideal Power Sources & Maximum Power Transfer

Non-Ideal Power Source

This lab is focus on solving the internal resistance from the power, so we need to reduce the circuit resistance to the point where we can measured the internal resistance

Pre-Lab


In the pre-lab we first calculate the ideal voltage source which means not include the internal resistance, and calculate the non-ideal voltage with internal resistance Rs.

Next the lab begin


we first measured and record the resistor of circuit. You can see we measured a close circuit  resistor by simply connect power supply and ground to the voltmeter.

Next step 


I made a circuit above and internal resistance is the wave-form generator inner resistance.


Then I come out with this


For the closed circuit Vout we got 0.972 V and we supply the open circuit 0.99 V gave me Voltage out with 1.001 V with 22.3 resistor connect to the power source. To be able to measured the resistance in source we used equation Rs = (R-Vout*R)/Vout (P.S The Vout we used here is closed circuit)

Maximum Power Transfer

This lab main point is to transfer the max power to a 2.2 resistor

Pre-Lab


The formula is easy with Rload given as 2.2k the Pmax = (Vth)^2 / 4*(Rload) 

Procedure


we first set up the circuit as the one drew on Pre-Lab


We measured the resistor as 2.18k and Vth = 2.48 so plug into the formula from pre-lab the max power is 2.82mW


Then we compared to the pre-lab the percent error is low as 0.70%
