The Thévenin and Norton equivalent circuits both represent the same circuit • They have the same voltage-current characteristics Source Transformations 13
Any voltage source in series with a resistance can be modeled as a current source in parallel with the same resistance and vice-versa Using Source Transformations in Circuit Analysis 14
EXAMPLE: SOLVE BY SOURCE TRANSFORMATION In between the terminals we connect a current source and a resistance in parallel The equivalent current source will have the value 12V/3k The 3k and the 6k resistors now are in parallel and can be combined In between the terminals we connect a voltage source in series with the resistor The equivalent source has value 4mA*2k The 2k and the 2k resistor become connected in series and can be combined After the transformation the sources can be combined The equivalent current source has value 8V/4k and the combined current source has value 4mA Options at this point 1. Do another source transformation and get a single loop circuit 2. Use current divider to compute I_0 and then compute V_0 using Ohm’s law

Source Transformation to Solve a Circuit Find the power associated with the 6 V source. State whether the 6 V source is absorbing or delivering power to the circuit.
Source Superposition This technique is a direct application of linearity. It is normally useful when the circuit has only a few sources.
Source Superposition • The Superposition Theorem states that a circuit can be analyzed with only one source of power at a time, the corresponding component voltages and currents algebraically added to find out what they'll do with all power sources in effect. • To negate all but one power source for analysis, replace any source of voltage (batteries) with a wire; replace any current source with an open (break).
Look at to the following circuit and apply Superposition Theorem : Since we have two sources of power in this circuit, we will have to calculate two sets of values one for the circuit with only the 28 volt battery in effect. and one for the circuit with only the 7 volt battery in effect: .
Analyzing the circuit with only the 28 volt battery, we obtain the following values for voltage and current: Analyzing the circuit with only the 7 volt battery, we obtain another set of values for voltage and current:
Applying these superimposed voltage figures to the circuit, the end result looks something like this: Currents add up algebraically as well:
