Study Notes
Theorems and Laws in Circuit Analysis
- Thevenin's Theorem states that the equivalent circuit of a network is a voltage source in series with a resistor.
- Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the total voltage around a closed loop in a circuit is equal to the sum of the voltage drops within that loop.
Network Transformations
- The term for the process of transforming a star (Y) network into an equivalent delta (Δ) network is Y-Δ transformation.
- The process of transforming a delta (Δ) network into an equivalent star (Y) network is Δ-Y transformation.
- Thevenin's Theorem allows us to replace the entire network with a single voltage source and a single resistor in a simple DC circuit.
Superposition Theorem
- When analyzing a circuit using the Superposition theorem, we calculate the response of each independent source separately, and then add the individual responses to find the total response of the circuit.
