Learning objective: To apply Source Transformation for complex networks to simplify into simple circuits.
Source Transformation A source transformation is the process of replacing a voltage source V s in series with a resistor R by a current source I s in parallel with a resistor R , or vice versa
Source Transformation R v s v s i s R or i s If any circuit is having the voltage source in series with a resistance it can be converted into current source with parallel with that resistance . This process can be reciprocated
Source Transformation V s R s I s s V s I s R
Source Transformation Equivalent sources can be used to simplify the analysis of some circuits. A voltage source in series with a resistor is transformed into a current source in parallel with a resistor. A current source in parallel with a resistor is transformed into a voltage source in series with a resistor.
Note the following important points : There must be atleast one resistance in case of constant current which is directly connected in parallel &e There must be atleast one resistance in the case of constant voltage source which is directly connected in series Source Transformation
Generally it is preferred to convert constant current source into constant voltage source such that : ( constant I source || R) (constant V source + R ) Arrow head corresponds to the positive terminal while arrow tail corresponds to the negative terminal of constant voltage source . Source Transformation
1. Redundant i.e. unwanted resistance: (a) If there is a resistance directly in parallel with a voltage source then we can simply O.C. i.e. remove it without affecting the given circuit. Thus, (V || R) ≡ V . . . . ( i ) Caution : In case the total current supplied by the voltage source is required then do not remove. Some important concepts
Some important concepts 1. Redundant i.e. unwanted resistance: (b) Conversely, if there is a resistance directly in series with a current source then we can simply S.C. it. Thus, (I + R) ≡ I . . . . (ii)
Some important concepts 2. Redundant sources : (a) If a voltage source and a current source are directly in parallel with each other then the voltage source dominates we can simply O.C. i.e. remove the current source. Thus, (V || I) ≡ V . . . . (iii)
