Study Notes

Network Theorems

ELE 314 course covers network theorems
Outline includes classification of networks, superposition, Kirchhoff's laws, Thevenin, Norton, reciprocity, and homogeneity

Classification of Electrical Networks

Classification is based on two aspects: properties of circuit elements and response to different excitations
Active and passive networks: Active elements deliver energy; passive elements receive energy
Unilateral and bilateral networks: Bilateral elements allow current flow in both directions; unilateral elements only allow current flow in one direction
Lumped and distributed networks: Lumped networks have components that are physically separable; distributed networks have components distributed along the network (e.g., a transmission line)
Linear and non-linear networks: Linear networks maintain proportionality between input and output responses; non-linear networks do not (proportional characteristics may change with change in input or output).
Time-invariant and time-variant networks: Time-invariant networks have characteristics that do not change over time; time-variant networks have characteristics that change with time.

Superposition Theorem

Applicable to linear, bilateral networks with multiple independent sources
Replace all but one source at a time and find response
Sum responses from each source to determine the total response

Kirchhoff's Laws

Current Law (KCL): The algebraic sum of currents entering and leaving a node is zero.
Voltage Law (KVL): The algebraic sum of voltage drops around any closed loop is zero.
