2. Thevenin Circuits (25 points)
Let V1=12V, R1=50 ohms, R2=10K ohms, R3=2K ohms, and R4=500 ohms. RL
represents the load placed on the circuit between points Aand B.
f) You use the DMM to measure the voltage across the load resistor given in part c (2K
ohms) and part d (10Meg ohms). In which circuit would the measured voltage be closer
to the voltage you calculated? Why? (4 points)
