Thevenin’s Theorem:
Statement:
The values of VTh and RTh are determined as mentioned in thevenin’s theorem.
Once the thevenin’s equivalent circuit is obtained, then current through any load resistance
RL connected across AB is given by, I =
Thevenin’s theorem is applied to d.c. circuits as stated below.
Any network having terminals A and B can be replaced by a single source of
e.m.f. VTh in series with a source resistance RRh.
(i) The e.m.f the voltage obtained across the terminals A and B with load, if any removed i.e., it
is open circuited voltage between terminals A and B.
(ii) The resistance RTh is the resistance of the network measured between the terminals A and B
with load removed and sources of e.m.f replaced by their internal resistances. Ideal voltage sources
are replaced with short circuits and ideal current sources are replaced with open circuits.
To find VTh, the load resistor ‘RL’ is disconnected, then VTh = Χ R3

Norton’s Theorem:
Statement:
It states that any linear, active network with two open terminals can be replaced by an
equivalent circuit consisting of Norton’s equivalent current source IN in parallel with Norton’s
equivalent resistance RN. where IN is the short circuit current through the two terminals and RN is the
resistance seen from the same two terminals.
Nortom’s theorem is applied to d.c circuits may be stated as below.
Any linear network having two terminals ‘A’ and ‘B’ can be replaced by a current
source of current output IN in parallel with a resistance RN.
(i) The output IN of the current source is equal to the current that would flow through AB when
A&B are short circuited.
(ii) The resistance RN is the resistance of network measured b/wn A and B with load
removed and the sources of e.m.f replaced by their internal resistances.
Ideal voltage source are replaced with short circuits and ideal current sources are replaced with
open circuits.Norton’s theorem is converse of thevenin’s theorem in that Norton equivalent circuit
uses a current generator instead of voltage generator and the resistance RN is parallel with
generator instead of being series with it.

4.6. THEORY:
The compensation theorem states that any element in the linear, bilateral network,
may be replaced by a voltage through the element multiplied by the value of the element, provided
the currents and voltages in other parts of the circuit remain unallered. Consider the circuit shown.
The element R can be replaced by voltage source V, which is equal to the current I passing through
R Multiplied by R.
This theorem is useful in finding the changes in current of voltage when the value of
Resistance R is changed M the circuit consider the network containing a resistance R. A small
change in resistance R, that is (R+ΔR) causes a change in current in all branches. This current
increment in other branches is equal to the current produced by the voltage source of voltage I.ΔR
which is placed in series with altered resistance.

locus. Locus diagrams are useful in determining the behavior or response of an RLC circuit when one of its parameters is varied while the frequency and voltage kept constant. The magnitude and
phase of he current vector in the circuit depends upon the values of R,L, and C and frequency at the
fixed source voltage. The path traced by the terminus of the current vector when the parameters R<L
or of are varied while f and V are kept constant is called the current locus.
The term circle diagram identifies locus plots that are either circular or semi circular loci of
the terminus ( the tip of the arrow) of a current phasor or voltage phasor. Circle diagrams are often
employed as aids in analyzing the operating characteristics of circuits like equivalent circuit of
transmission lines and some types of AC machines.

7.7. THEORY:
Resonance is a particular type of phenomenon inherently found normally in every
kind of system, electrical, mechanical, optical, Acoustical and even atomic. There are several
definitions of resonance. But, the most frequently used definition of resonance in electrical
system is studied state operation of a circuit or system at that frequency for which the
resultant response is in time phase with the forcing function.
Series resonance:
A circuit is said to be under resonance, when the applied voltage ‘V’ and current are
in phase. Thus a series RLC circuit, under resonance behaves like a pure resistance network
and the reactance of the circuit should be zero. Since V & I are in phase, the power factor is
unity at resonance.
The frequency at which the resonance will occur is known as resonant frequency.
Resonant frequency, fr =
Thus at resonance the impedance Z is minimum. Since I = V/Z. The current is maximum. So
that current amplification takes place.
The parallel circuit consisting branches with single pure elements R,L & C is an ideal
circuit. How ever the performance of such a circuit is of interest in the general subject of
resonance. This ideal parallel circuit is of interest in the general subject of resonance.
Lower cut-off frequency is above the resonant frequency at which the current is
reduced to times of it’s minimum value. Upper cut-off frequency is above.
Quality factor is the ratio of reactance power inductor (or) capacitor to its resistance.
Selectivity is the reciprocal of the quality factor.

THEORY:
A voltage is induced in a coil when there is a time rate of charge of current
through it. The inductance parameter L, is defined in terms of the voltage across it and the
time rate of change of current through it V(t) = Where V(t) is the voltage across the
coil. I(t) is the current through the coil, L is the inductance of the coil, Strictly speaking, this
definition is of self-inductance and this is considered as a circuit element with a pair of
terminals. Whereas circuit element “mutual inductor” does not exist mutual inductance is a
property associated with two or more coils or inductors which are in close proximity and the
presence of common magnetic flux which links the coils? A transformer is such a device
whose operation is based on mutual inductance. The two coils, or circuits are said to be
inductively coupled, because of this property they are called “
coupled elements “ , are coupled circuits and the induced voltage or emf is called voltage (or)
emf of mutual induction and is given by V2(t) = volts. Where V2 is the voltage
induced in coil L2 And M1 is the co-efficient of proportionality and is called the co-efficient
of mutual inductance or simple mutual inductance.
The amount of coupling b/wn the inductively coupled coils is expressed in terms of
the co-efficient of coupling which is defined as
K = where M= mutual inductance b/wn the coils,
L1 = self inductance of first coil,
L2 = self inductance of second coil.
Co-efficient of coupling is always less than unity, and has a maximum value of
1(or100%).
This case, for which K=1 is called perfect coupling when the entire flux of one coil
links the other. The greater the co-efficient of coupling b/wn the two coils, the greater the
mutual inductance between them, and vice-versa. It can be expressed as the fraction of the
magnetic flux produced by the current in one coil that links the other coil.
The co-efficient of coupling k is a non magnetic number and is independent of the
reference directions of the currents in the coils. If the two coils are a great distance apart in
space, and K is also very small. For iron core coupled circuits, the value of K may be as high
as 0.999, for air-core coupled ckts, K varied between 0.4 to 0.8.

A port is normally referred to a pair of terminals of a network though which we can
have access to network of calculating current in any part of network. Frequently the problem
is move restried in nature and may be that of calculating the response at a terminal pair
designated an input when excitation is applied at another terminal pair designated as input
terminals. It is a problem of terminal through which it is accessible, is called “Two Port
Network.“
If we relate the voltage of one port to the current of the same port, we get driving
point immitance. On the other hand, if we relate the voltage of one port to the current at
another port, we get transfer immittance. Immitance is a general term used to represent either
the impudance or the admittance of a network.
We will consider a general two-port network composed of linear, bilateral elements
and no independent sources. Dependent sources are permitted. It is represented as a black box
with two accessible terminals pairs as shown in. The voltage and current at port -1 are V1 and
I1 and at port =II are V2 and I2. The position of V1 and V2 and the directions of I1 and I2 are
customarily selected. out of four variables, I1I1V2 and I2 only two are independent. The other
two are expressed in terms of the independent variable of network parameters.

balanced 3- loads. By connecting the current coil of the wattmeter in one line and the
pressure coil across the other two lines of 3- circuit, current through the current coil and
voltage across the pressure coil are determined. Now as the current in the current coil lags the
