Study Notes
Theorems Related to Linear Circuits
- Thevenin's Theorem: States that any linear circuit with only voltage sources, current sources, and resistances can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single voltage source in series with a single resistance.
- Norton's Theorem: Indicates that any linear circuit with voltage sources, current sources, and resistances can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single current source in parallel with a single resistance.
- Superposition Theorem: In a linear circuit with multiple sources, the total response (voltage or current) is the algebraic sum of the responses produced by each individual source acting independently while the other sources are turned off.
Key Characteristics
- Thevenin's and Norton's Relation: Thevenin's and Norton's theorems are duals; transforming a Thevenin equivalent to a Norton equivalent involves using the same parameters in different configurations.
- Application of Superposition: This theorem simplifies analysis by allowing one to calculate the effect of each source separately, which is particularly useful in circuits with multiple power sources.
