EE-111: Linear Circuit Analysis

Source Transformation

Slide 1
Source Transformation
• A source transformation is the process of
replacing a voltage source vs in series with a
resistor R by a current source is in parallel with
a resistor R, or vice versa

Slide 2
Equivalent Circuits

Slide 3
vs
vs is R or is 
R

Slide 4
• Arrow of the current source
positive terminal of voltage source
• Impossible source Transformation
– ideal voltage source (R = 0)
– ideal current source (R=)

Slide 5
Example 11
• Use source transformation to find vo in the
circuit.

Example 11

Slide 7
Example 11
we use current division to get
2
i (2) 0.4A
2 8

and vo 8i 8(0.4) 3.2V

Slide 8
Example 12
• Find vx using source transformation

Slide 9
Example 12

Applying KVL around the loop gives


 3  5i  v x  18 0
Appling KVL to the loop containing only the 3V
voltage source, the 1 resistor, and vx yields
 3  1i  v x 0  v x 3  i

Slide 10
Example 12
Substituting this into Eq, we obtain
15  5i  3 0  i  4.5A
Alternatively
 v x  4i  v x  18 0  i  4.5A
thus
v x 3  i 7.5V

Source Transformation
• All current sources or all voltage sources
• Simplify a circuit by allowing resistors and sources to
eventually be combined
• The resistor value does not change during a source
transformation, but it is not the same resistor
• If the voltage or current associated with a resistor is used as a
controlling variable for a dependent source, it should not be
included in any source transformation
• In a source transformation, the head of the current source
arrow corresponds to the “+” terminal of the voltage source
• A source transformation on a current source and resistor
requires that the two elements be in parallel.
• A source transformation on a voltage source and resistor
requires that the two elements be in series
