Thought of the DAY
Every man has faults.
It all depends on whether
he has
enough good qualities
to counterbalance them.

Network Theorems
•Some special techniques, known as
network theorems and network
reduction methods, have been
developed.
•These drastically reduce the labour
needed to solve a network.
•These provide simple conclusions and
good insight into the problems.

Superposition Theorem
•In a linear network, containing more than one
source (current and/or emf) (including
dependent sources),
• the resultant current (or voltage) in an element
may be found by considering one source at a
time,
• and all other sources made inoperative, that is
replaced ‘temporarily' by their internal
resistances;
• followed by adding the current (or voltages)
due to the individual sources.
14-09-24 04:06 AM Network Theorems-1 7
Linear Dependent Source
•It is a source whose output current or voltage
is proportional only to the first power of some
current or voltage variable in the network or
to the sum of such quantities.
•Examples :
linear. not is 6.0
6.0 but,
linear, is166.0

Application
•Problem : Consider two 1-V batteries in
series with a 1-Ω resistor. Let us apply
the principle of superposition, and find
the power delivered by both the
batteries.
•Solutions : Power delivered by only one
source working at time is
P
1 = 1 W
14-09-24 04:06 AM Network Theorems-1 9
•Therefore, the power delivered by
both the sources,
P = 2P
1 = 2 W
•The above answer is obviously
wrong, because it is a wrong
application of
the superposition theorem.

Thevenin’s Theorem
•It was first proposed by a French
telegraph engineer, M.L. Thevenin in 1883.
•There also exists an earlier statement of
the theorem credited to Helmholtz.
•Hence it is also known as Helmholtz-
Thevenin Theorem.
•It is useful when we wish to find the
response only in a single resistance in a
big network.

Thevenin’s Theorem
•Any two terminals AB of a network
composed of linear passive and
active elements may by replaced by
a simple equivalent circuit
consisting of
1.an equivalent voltage source V
oc,
,
and
2.an equivalent resistance R
thin series.
14-09-24 04:06 AM Network Theorems-1 20
• The voltage V
oc
is equal to the
potential difference between
the two terminals AB caused by
the active network with no
external resistance connected
to these terminals.
14-09-24 04:06 AM Network Theorems-1 21
• The series resistance R
th
is the
equivalent resistance looking
back into the network at the
terminals AB with all the
sources within the network
made inactive, or dead.

Problem

current and voltage in the 2-Ω resistor
