Superposition and Reciprocity Theorems Object

The document discusses two circuit analysis theorems: 1. Superposition theorem states that the total current at a point in a circuit with multiple voltage sources is equal to the sum of the currents that would flow with each individual source applied separately. 2. Reciprocity theorem states that the total current through any portion of a circuit is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents produced independently by each source. It provides examples of using the superposition theorem to find branch currents in a circuit with two voltage sources. The document also discusses using thevenin's theorem to reduce circuits to an equivalent form for analysis.

Superposition and Reciprocity Theorems

Object:
To apply superposition and reciprocity theorems to a DC electric
circuits.
1st. Superposition Theorem: This theorem states that: "In a
network of a linear resistance's containing more than one sources,
the current which flaws at any point is the sum of the currents
which would flow at that point if each source were considered
separately and all the other voltage sources replaced for the time
being by short circuit" For example: the network shown in Figure
(1) contains two voltage sources E, and Es, if it is required to find
the branch currents I, I, and I, with the directions shown in Figure
(1) Figure(2) shows the branch currents I, 1, and I, when the voltage
source E, is replaced by short circuit. Figure (3) shows the branch
currents 1, 15 and I, when the voltage source E, is replaced by short
circuit. Now, according to the superposition theorem, if the branch
currents according to the effect of each voltage source are in the
same direction, then the resulted current is sum of two currents in
the direction of either current. But, if the individual currents are in
opposite direction through the same branch, the resulting current is
the difference of the two and has the direction of the larger

Discussion:-
Of Fig. 9.25(a), the Thévenin equivalent circuit can
Be found quite directly by simply combining the series
batteries andesistors. Note the exact similarity of the
networof Fig. 9.25(b) to theThévenin configuration of Fig.
9.24. The method describebelow willAllow us to extend the
procedure just applied to more complex configu-Fig. 9.24.In
most cases, other elements will be connected to the right of
Minals a and b in Fig. 9.25. To apply the theorem, however,
