Linearity and Proportionality
• Motivation:
Engineering combines the study of mathematics and natural and social sciences to direct the forces of nature for the benefit of humankind.
An engineer, in the accomplishment of a task,
1. Analyses the problem
2. Synthesises a solution
3. Evaluates the results and possibly re-synthesises a solution
⇒use models to represent the electric circuit element

Source Transformation
A source transformation is a procedure for transforming one source into another while retaining the terminal characteristics of the original source.
⇒ Based on the concept of equivalence, i.e. terminal characteristics still remain identical to those of the origin.

Superposition Theorem
• Linear element holds superposition theorem, i.e.
The superposition principle requires that the total effect of several causes acting simultaneously is equal to the sum of the effects of the individual causes acting one at a time.

How to apply the principle of Superposition Theorem?
The principle of superposition is only applicable for linear circuits consisting of linear elements and independent sources.
Steps in applying the superposition theorem:
1. Activate only one independent source at one time and deactivate the rest of independent sources. If the dependent source is available, it should remain active.
2. Determine the current or voltage where necessary.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 until the effects of all the independent sources in the network have been analysed.
4. Add the total currents or voltages.

Thevénin’s Theorem
• Motivation:
To reduce the complexity of circuits.
• How?
Reduce some portion of the circuit to an equivalent source and a single element (refer to source transformation for derivation)
Thevenin equivalent circuit
Thevénin’s Theorem (cont.)
• Thevenin’s theorem requires that, for any circuit of resistance elements and energy sources with an identified terminal pair, the circuit can be replaced by a series combination of an ideal source, vTH and a resistance, RTH.
– vTH is the open-circuit voltage at the two terminals
– RTH is the input/equivalent resistance at the terminals when the independent sources are turned off.

Thevénin’s Theorem (cont.)
Summary of Thevenin Circuit Approach1) Identify circuit A and circuit B
2) Separate circuit A and circuit B
3) Replace circuit A with its Thevenin equivalent
4) Reconnect circuit B and determine the variable of interest
Example 1
Find the Thevenin equivalent circuit between the output terminals A and B of the circuit shown below.
Solution
Determine the voltage, VTH
Note:
1. Since there is no current flowing through R4, therefore no voltage drop across it. (∴Ignore R4)
2. Use voltage divider rule to determine the VTH = VAB.

Exercise 1
For the circuit shown below, determine the Thevenin equivalent circuit as viewed from the output terminals A and B.
(Answer: RTH = 1.153 kΩ, VTH = 3.06 V)
Exercise 2
Find the Thevenin equivalent of the circuit shown below.
(Answer: RTH = 8 Ω, VTH = 32 V)
Thevenin Theorem (cont.)
When circuit contain one or more dependent sources as well as independent sources:
RTH is determined by:
1. Determine the open-circuit voltage, VOC (i.e. VTH)
2. Determine the short-circuit current, ISC3. RTH = VOC / ISC (which could be justified by writing KVL equation for the loop)
Exercise
Find the Thevenin equivalent circuit for the circuit shown below.
(Answer: RTH = 13.6 Ω, VTH = 12 V)
Thevenin Theorem (cont.)
What about when the circuit contains only dependent sources:
1. Definitely ISC = 0 A and VOC = 0 V.
RTH is determined by:
1. Connect 1 A current source at the terminal A-B
2. Determine the voltage at terminals A-B, VAB3. RTH = VAB / 1

Please take note that:
Thevenin Equivalency Depends on the Viewpoint
Norton’s Theorem
• Motivation:
To reduce the complexity of circuits.
• How?
Reduce some portion of the circuit to an equivalent source and a single element
Norton equivalent circuit
Norton’s Theorem
• Norton and Thevenin equivalent circuits are related by a source transformation.
• To determine Thevenin or Norton equivalent circuit, we need to find
– iN, Norton current equals to the short-circuit current at the terminals of interest
– RN, Norton resistance equals to the Theveninresistance, i.e. resistance at terminals of interest when all the independent sources are off.
– vTH, Thevenin voltage equals to the open-circuit voltage across the terminals of interest.
Example
Determine the Norton equivalent circuit as seen by the RL for the circuit shown below.
Solution

1. Short circuit terminals A-B.

Maximum Power Transfer
• Many applications of circuits require maximum power available from a source be transferred to a load resistor, RL.
• General problem of power transfer deals with its efficiency and effectiveness issues.
Example:
power utility systems to transport the power to the load with greatest efficiency by reducing the losses on the power lines
Signal transmission (communication): difficulty in attaining the maximum signal strength at the load (e.g. FM radio, mobile telephone).
