Thevenin's Theorem

Purpose: 

Pre-lab: Based on Thevenin's Theorem, we calculate Vth, Rth for the circuit belove

Based on the actual value of our resistors, we found Voc=0.437V, Rth= 7.4k Ω. Then we calculated I=3.6116 x 10^-5 A, Vload(4.7kΩ)=0.1697V

When we constructed the circuit and measured value of Rth =7.33kΩ, Vth=0.1707V 

 This is the value of Vload when we connected Rload with Rth, Vload = 0.1781V

In conclusion, there is only a small difference (4.7%) in voltage of Rload (0.1781V vs 0.1697V) when constructing a circuit with a bunch of resistors and the circuit with Rth connect with Rload in series.
