Network Theorems

Fundamental electrical laws and the associated methods of analysis have been discussed in the previous chapters. These methods of analysis need tedious mathematical manipulation to solve the circuit parameters including the current, voltage and power. These cumbersome mathematical analyses can be simplified by using advanced techniques known as network or circuit theorems. These include linearity property, superposition theorem, Thevenin’s theorem, Norton’s theorem and Maximum Power Transfer theorem. Most of these theorems will be discussed with independent and dependent sources. In addition, PSpice simulation and Multisim software will also be used in some cases to verify the analytical results.
