Introductory Circuit Analysis
Robert L. Boylestad
9.1 - Introduction
 This chapter introduces important fundamental
theorems of network analysis. They are
superposition, Thévenin’s, Norton’s, maximum
power transfer, substitution, Millman’s, and
reciprocity theorems
9.2 - Superposition Theorem
Used to find the solution to networks with two or more
sources that are not in series or parallel
 The current through, or voltage across, an element in a linear
bilateral network is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents
or voltages produced independently by each source
 For a two-source network, if the current produced by one
source is in one direction, while that produced by the other is
in the opposite direction through the same resistor, the
resulting current is the difference of the two and has the
direction of the larger
 If the individual currents are in the same direction, the
resulting current is the sum of two in the direction of either
current

Superposition Theorem
The total power
delivered to a resistive element must
be determined using the total current through or the
total voltage across the element and cannot be
determined by a simple sum of the power levels
established by each source
9.3 - Thévenin’s Theorem
 Any
two-terminal, linear bilateral dc network can be
replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage
source and a series resistor
Thévenin’s Theorem
 The Thévenin equivalent circuit provides an
equivalence at the terminals only – the internal
construction and characteristics of the original network
and the Thévenin equivalent are usually quite different
 This theorem achieves two important objectives:
Provides a way to find any particular voltage or current in a
linear network with one, two, or any other number of
sources
 We can concentration on a specific portion of a network by
replacing the remaining network with an equivalent circuit

Thévenin’s Theorem


Sequence to proper value of RTh and ETh
Preliminary

1. Remove that portion of the network across which the
Thévenin equation circuit is to be found. In the figure below,
this requires that the load resistor RL be temporarily removed
from the network.
Thévenin’s Theorem
2. Mark the terminals of the remaining two-terminal
network. (The importance of this step will become obvious
as we progress through some complex networks)
 RTh:
 3. Calculate RTh by first setting all sources to zero (voltage
sources are replaced by short circuits, and current sources
by open circuits) and then finding the resultant resistance
between the two marked terminals. (If the internal resistance
of the voltage and/or current sources is included in the
original network, it must remain when the sources are set to
zero)

Thévenin’s Theorem

ETh:
4. Calculate ETh by first returning all sources to their
original position and finding the open-circuit voltage
between the marked terminals. (This step is invariably the
one that will lead to the most confusion and errors. In all
cases, keep in mind that it is the open-circuit potential
between the two terminals marked in step 2)

Thévenin’s Theorem

Conclusion:

5. Draw the Thévenin
equivalent circuit with the
portion of the circuit
previously removed replaced
between the terminals of the
equivalent circuit. This step is
indicated by the placement of
the resistor RL between the
terminals of the Thévenin
equivalent circuit

Thévenin’s Theorem
Experimental Procedures
 Two popular experimental procedures for
determining the parameters of the Thévenin
equivalent network:


Direct Measurement of ETh and RTh
For any physical network, the value of ETh can be determined
experimentally by measuring the open-circuit voltage across the
load terminals
 The value of RTh can then be determined by completing the
network with a variable resistance RL

Thévenin’s Theorem

Measuring VOC and ISC
The Thévenin voltage is again determined by measuring
the open-circuit voltage across the terminals of interest; that
is, ETh = VOC. To determine RTh, a short-circuit condition is
established across the terminals of interest and the current
through the short circuit Isc is measured with an ammeter
Using Ohm’s law:

RTh = Voc / Isc
9.4 - Norton’s Theorem

Norton’s theorem states the following:
 Any
two linear bilateral dc network can be replaced by an
equivalent circuit consisting of a current and a parallel
resistor.
 The steps leading
to the proper values of IN and RN
 Preliminary
1. Remove that portion of the network across which the
Norton equivalent circuit is found
 2. Mark the terminals of the remaining two-terminal
network

Norton’s Theorem

RN:
3. Calculate RN by first setting all sources to zero (voltage
sources are replaced with short circuits, and current sources
with open circuits) and then finding the resultant resistance
between the two marked terminals. (If the internal resistance
of the voltage and/or current sources is included in the
original network, it must remain when the sources are set to
zero.) Since RN = RTh the procedure and value obtained
using the approach described for Thévenin’s theorem will
determine the proper value of RN

Norton’s Theorem

IN :
4. Calculate IN by first returning all the sources to their
original position and then finding the short-circuit current
between the marked terminals. It is the same current that
would be measured by an ammeter placed between the
marked terminals.
 Conclusion:
 5. Draw the Norton equivalent circuit with the portion of
the circuit previously removed replaced between the
terminals of the equivalent circuit

9.5 - Maximum Power Transfer
Theorem

The maximum power transfer theorem states
the following:
A load will receive maximum power from a linear
bilateral dc network when its total resistive value is
exactly equal to the Thévenin resistance of the
network as “seen” by the load

RL = RTh
Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

For loads connected directly to a dc voltage
supply, maximum power will be delivered to the
load when the load resistance is equal to the
internal resistance of the source; that is, when:
RL = Rint
9.6 - Millman’s Theorem
 Any
number of parallel voltage sources can be
reduced to one
This permits finding the current through or voltage across
RL without having to apply a method such as mesh analysis,
nodal analysis, superposition and so on.

1. Convert all voltage sources to current sources
2. Combine parallel current sources
3. Convert the resulting current source to a voltage source, and the
desired single-source network is obtained
9.7 - Substitution Theorem
 The substitution theorem states:
If the voltage across and the current through any branch
of a dc bilateral network is known, this branch can be
replaced by any combination of elements that will maintain
the same voltage across and current through the chosen
branch
 Simply, for a branch equivalence, the terminal voltage
and current must be the same

9.8 - Reciprocity Theorem
 The reciprocity theorem
is applicable only to singlesource networks and states the following:
The current I in any branch of a network, due to a single
voltage source E anywhere in the network, will equal the
current through the branch in which the source was
originally located if the source is placed in the branch in
which the current I was originally measured


The location of the voltage source and the resulting current
may be interchanged without a change in current
