5.1 Introduction
In this chapter, we consider five circuit theorems:
- A source transformation allows us to replace a voltage source and series resistor by a current source and parallel resistor. Doing so does not change the element current or voltage of any other element of the circuit.
- Superposition says that the response of a linear circuit to several inputs working together is equal to the sum of the responses to each of the inputs working separately.
- Thévenin's theorem allows us to replace part of a circuit by a voltage source and series resistor. Doing so does not change the element current or voltage of any element in the rest of the circuit.
- Norton's theorem allows us to replace part of a circuit by a current source and parallel resistor. Doing so does not change the element current or voltage of any element in the rest of the circuit.
- The maximum power transfer theorem describes the condition under which one circuit transfers as much power as possible ...
