Source Transformation A source transformation allows a voltage source in series with a resistor to be replaced by a current source in parallel with the same resistor or vice versa. a a R L! R L b b The current in R L The current in R L v i L = s R i L = i s R + R L R + R L These circuits are equivalent if these resistor currents are the same v s R + R L = R R + R L i s! 4 i s = v s R v s = Ri s
The resistance in parallel with the voltage source The resistance in series with the current source These circuits are equivalent with respect to terminals a,b since they produce the same voltage and current in any resistor R L inserted between nodes a,b. 5

Example: Circuits 1 and 2 below are identical except for the voltage sources. Assuming that I 1 = 5A then the value of I 2 is? + I 2 18
5. 3 Superposition The principle of superposition allows us to reduce a complicated multi-source problem to several simple problems. Each problem contains only a single independent source. In any linear circuit containing multiple independent sources, the current or voltage at any point in the network may be calculated as the algebraic sum of the individual contributions of each source acting alone. 19

Thevenin Equivalent of Circuit A A a + v! b i LOAD B Any Circuit v = V Th! i " R Th The values of V Th (Thevenin voltage) and R Th may be either positive or negative R Th - the Thevenin resistance is a quantity in a mathematical model - it is not a physical resistor 36

R Th - The Thevenin Resistance 1. The most general way in obtaining R Th is to use R Th = V Th I N, where V Th = v oc - open circuit voltage I N = i sc - short circuit current 39
2. The Thevenin resistance R Th can be determined directly by a source suppression method without finding the Thevenin voltage and Norton current. This applies directly to circuits that contain only independent sources. This is a result of the linearity property of the circuit. R Th = V Th = V! " Th I N I N! " The Thevenin resistance remains unchanged even in the limit case when all independent sources are suppressed to zero. 40

5. 5 Maximum Power Transfer Circuit analysis plays an important role in the analysis of systems designed to transfer power from a source to a load. The efficiency of the power transfer: power utility systems are a good example of this type because they are concerned with the generation, transmission, and distribution of large quantities of electric power. If a power utility system is inefficient, a large percentage of the power generated is lost in the transmission and distribution processes, and thus wasted. Power transferred: communication and instrumentation systems are good examples because in the transmission of information, or data, via electric signals, the power available at the transmitter or detector is limited. Thus, transmitting as much of this power as possible to the receiver, or load, is desirable. In such applications the amount of power being transferred is small, so the efficiency of transfer is not a primary concern. 77
We consider maximum power transfer in systems that can be modeled by a purely resistive circuit. We wish to determine the value of of R L that permits maximum power delivery to R L 78
Represent the Resistive Network by its Thevenin Equivalent P load = i 2 R L =! " # V Th R Th + R L 2 $ % & R L ' max RL 79
P load =! " # V Th R Th + R L 2 $ % & R L P load R L 80
Maximum is reached at the point where dp load dr L = 0! P load = " # $ V Th R Th + R L 2 % & ' R L dp load dr L 2 d = V Th dr L!# " $# R L ( ) 2 R Th + R L %# & '# ( ) 2! 2R L ( R Th + R L ) ( ) 4 " 2 R = V Th + R L Th $ # $ R Th + R L % ' &' = 0 81
