Study Notes
Network Theorems - Lecture 2
- Various network theorems exist to analyze circuits
- Key theorems include Superposition, Thévenin, Norton, Maximum Power Transfer, Millman's, Substitution, and Reciprocity
- Superposition theorem allows analyzing networks with more than one source that are not in series or parallel. The current/voltage across an element equals the algebraic sum of currents/voltages produced independently by each source.
- To use the superposition theorem, independently analyze the effects of each source while setting others to zero (open circuit current source, short circuit voltage source).
- Thévenin's theorem simplifies a network into a single voltage source and a series resistor. The procedure involves finding the Thévenin equivalent (open circuit) voltage and resistance.
- Remove the portion of the circuit to be analyzed.
- Mark the terminals in the portion of the circuit remaining.
- Calculate the Thévenin resistance by setting all sources to zero (voltage sources shorted, current sources opened).
- Calculate the Thévenin voltage by setting the load to zero.
- Draw the equivalent circuit by replacing the portion of the network with the Thévenin equivalent circuit
- Norton's theorem provides an alternative equivalent circuit to Thévenin's, using a current source and parallel resistor. The steps are analogous, with finding the Norton resistance and current to make the equivalent circuit.
- Maximum Power Transfer theorem describes a condition to maximize power transfer from a network to a load, occurring when the load resistance equals the Thévenin resistance
- Millman's theorem simplifies multiple parallel voltage sources to a single equivalent voltage source. The procedure involves finding the equivalent voltage and resistance.
- Substitution theorem is used to replace parts of a network with an equivalent network of components preserving terminal characteristics; for branch equivalence, terminal voltage and current values remain the same
- Reciprocity theorem states that the current in a branch of a network resulting from one voltage source in place equals the current through that original source's branch with the voltage source moved.
