Max Power Lab

Introduction:
To confirm that there is maximum power transfer to a load resistance when the load resistance is the same as the Thevenin resistance of the circuit.

Procedure:
Step 1: Obtain 5.6k resistor and 10k potentiometer. 

Measuring the resistance of a resistor

Step 2: Assemble the circuit

The circuit as it is being set up

Step 3: Record the data and gradually increase the resistance slowly

Step 4: Theoretical values

using voltage divider,
