Electric Circuits and Networks, Ist Edition by Pearson

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

• Derive Superposition Theorem from the

property of linearity of elements.

• Explain the two key theorems – Superposition

Theorem and Substitution Theorem in detail.

• Derive other theorems like Compensation

Theorem, Thevenin’s Theorem, Norton’s

Theorem, Reciprocity Theorem and Maximum

Power Transfer Theorem from these two key

principles.

• Provide illustrations for applications of

circuit theorems in circuit analysis through

solved examples.

• Emphasise the use of Compensation

Theorem, Thevenin’s Theorem and Norton’s

Theorem in circuits containing dependent

sources as a pointer to their applications in

the study of Electronic Circuits. ...
