    Introduction

    Discuss concepts of:

    ,

    Source transformation, and

    Maximum power transfer.

    Since Kirchhoff's laws are unsuitable for analysis of complexcircuits, theorems such as Thevenins and Nortons theorems

    will be discussed for analysis of complex circuits. These

    theorems are applicable to linear circuits.

    Linearity Property

    Linearity is the property of an element describing a linear relationshipbetween cause and effect.

    If the input (excitation) is multiplied by a constant, then the output (response)is multiplied by the same constant. For a resistor, for example, Ohms lawrelates the input ito the output v, v= iR.

    If the current is increased by a constant, k, then the voltage increasescorrespondingly byk - Homogeneityproperty: kiR= kv.

    Additivityproperty the response to a sum of inputs is the sum of theresponses to each input applied separately. If

    Linearity Property

    A resistor is a linear element because the voltage-currentrelationshi satisfies both the homo eneit and the additivitproperties.

    In general, a circuit is linear if it is both additive andhomogeneous. A linear circuit consists of only linear elements,linear dependent sources and independent sources.

    A linear circuitis one whose output is linearly related (or directly

    . Note: sincep = i2R= v2/Ris a quadratic function, the

    relationship between power and voltage (or current) is nonlinear.

    5

    Example 4.1

    Consider the given linear circuit. The linear circuit has noinde endent sources inside it. It is excited b a volta e source v s

    which serves as the input. The circuit is terminated by a load Rand the current ithrough Ris taken as an output.

    Suppose vs= 10V gives i= 2A. According to the linearityprinciple, vs= 1V will give i= 2k (k = 1/10), i= 2(1/10) = 0.2A.Similarly, i= 1mA must be due to vs= 10k (k = 110

    -3/2), vs=5mV.

    Superposition When a circuit has two or more independent sources, one way to

    determine the value of a specific value (voltage or current) is touse nodal or mesh analysis.

    An alternative is to determine the contribution of eachindependent source to the variable and then add them up. This isknown as superposition. The idea of the superposition rests on thelinearity property.

    The superpositionprinciple states that the voltage across (or

    sum of the voltage across (or currents through) that element dueto each independent source acting alone.

    11

    Superposition

    Steps to apply superposition principle:

    Turn off all independent sources except one source. Find the output(voltage or current) due to that active source using the technique coveredpreviously.

    Repeat previous step for each of the other independent sources.

    Find the total contribution by adding algebraically all the contributionsdue to the independent sources.

    Note:

    Consider one inde endent source at a time while all other inde endentsources are turned off. This implies that every voltage source is replacedby 0V (or a short circuit), and every current source by 0A (or an opencircuit). This way we obtain a simpler and more manageable circuit.

    Dependent sources are left intact because they are controlled by circuitvariables.

    Source Transformation Another tool for simplifying circuits and follows the concept of equivalence.

    A source trans ormationis the rocess of re lacin a volta e source vSin serieswith a resistor Rby a current source iSin parallel with a resistor R, or viceversa.

    Source transformation of independent sources

    e sources are urne o , e equ va ence res s ance a erm na a- n ocircuits is R. When terminal a-bare short-circuited, the short circuit currentflowing from ato bis iSC= vS/Rin the circuit on the left-hand side and iSC=iSfor the circuit on the right-hand side. In order for the two circuits to beequivalent, vS/R= iS. Hence, source transformation requires that:

    R= =

    Source Transformation

    The application of source transformation to dependent sources is similar tothat of independent sources.

    Note:

    Source transformation of dependent sources

    The arrow of the current source is directed towards the positive terminalof the voltage source.

    Source transformation is not possible when R= 0, which is the case withan ideal voltage source. However, for a practical, non-ideal source, Risnot equal to 0. Similarly, an ideal current source with R= cannot be

    replaced by a finite voltage source.26

    Provides a technique by which the fixed part of the circuit isre laced b an e uivalent circuit.

    Thevenins Theorem

    (a) Original circuit (b) Thevenin equivalent circuit

    Thevenins theoremstates that a linear two-terminal circuit can bereplaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage sourceVTh in series with a resistor RTh, where VTh is the open-circuit

    voltage at the terminals and RTh is the input or equivalentresistance at the terminals when the independent sources areturned off.

    35

    VTh is the open circuit voltage across the terminals a-b.

    Thevenins Theorem

    Th sources are turned off.

    Consider two cases in findingRTh: Case 1: If the network has no dependent sources, turn off all

    independent sources. RTh is the input resistance of the networklooking between terminals a-b.

    36

  • 8/3/2019 Chapter 4 - Circuit Theorems 2 Slides Per Page

    19/34

    19

    Case 2: If the network has dependent sources, turn off all independentsources. As with superposition, dependent sources are not to be turned off

    Thevenins Theorem

    . Apply a voltage source vo at the terminals aand bto determine the

    resulting current io to have RTh= vo/io. Alternatively, insert a current source io at terminals a-band find the

    terminal voltage vo to have RTh= vo/io.

    Both the approaches will give the same result and any value ofvo and iocan be used.

    37

    IfRThtakes a negative value (v = iR), it implies that the circuitis supplying power.

    Thevenins Theorem

    Consider a linear circuit terminated by a load RL. The current RLthrough the load and the voltage VLacross the

    load are easily determined once the Thevenin equivalent of the

    circuit at the load terminal is obtained.

    Solution:

    To find RTh, set the independent source equal to zero but leave the dependent source.

    Example 4.13

    Excite the network with v0 connected to the terminal a-b. Lets use v0 = 1V for ease andthen obtain RTh= v0/i0 = 1/i0 . (A current source i0 can be used instead ofv0 to get RTh= v0/i0 = v0/1 . )

    Nortons theorem states that a linear two-terminal circuit can bereplaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a current source IN in

    Nortons Theorem

    RN is the same as RTh: RN= RTh

    Nortons Theorem IN is the short-circuit current from terminal ato b: IN= iSC

    Dependent and independent sources are treated the same way as in

    Finding Norton current

    Nortons Theorem

    Since VTh, INand RThare related, to determine the Thevenin orNorton equivalent circuit requires:

    the open circuit voltage VOCacross terminals aand b.

    the short circuit current ISCat terminals aand b.

    the equivalent or input resistance RIN

    at terminals aand bwhen all independent sources are turned off.

    Any two of the three can be calculated using the method thattakes the least effort and the third can be found using Ohmslaw. Since

    the open-circuit and short-circuit tests are sufficient to find anyThevenin or Norton equivalent circuit.

    Maximum Power Transfer Aim is to transfer/deliver maximum power to a load in a system with

    known internal losses.

    The Thevenin equivalent is useful in finding the maximum power a

    linear circuit can deliver to a load.

    Maximum Power Transfer

    For a given circuit, VThand RThare fixed. By varying the load

    resistance RL, the power delivered to the load varies as shown below.

    The power is small for small or large values ofRLbut maximum for

    some value ofRLbetween zero and infinity.

    Maximum power is transferred to the load when the load resistance

    equals the Thevenin resistance as seen from the load (RL= RTh).
