4.2 Linearity Property Circuit Theorems4 Homogeneity property (Scaling) Additivity property Eastern Mediterranean University

 A linear circuit is one whose output is linearly related (or directly proportional) to its input  Fig. 4.1 Circuit Theorems5 v V0V0 I0I0 i Eastern Mediterranean University

 Linear circuit consist of ●linear elements ●linear dependent sources ●independent sources  Circuit Theorems6 Eastern Mediterranean University

Example 4.1  For the circuit in fig 4.2 find I 0 when v s =12V and v s =24V. Circuit Theorems7 Eastern Mediterranean University

Example 4.1  KVL Eqs(4.1.1) and (4.1.3) we get Circuit Theorems8 (4.1.1) (4.1.2) (4.1.3) Eastern Mediterranean University

4.3 Superposition  The superposition principle states that the voltage across (or current through) an element in a linear circuit is the algebraic sum of the voltages across (or currents through) that element due to each independent source acting alone.  Turn off, killed, inactive source: ●independent voltage source: 0 V (short circuit) ●independent current source: 0 A (open circuit)  Dependent sources are left intact. Circuit Theorems12 Eastern Mediterranean University

 Steps to apply superposition principle: 1.Turn off all independent sources except one source. Find the output (voltage or current) due to that active source using nodal or mesh analysis. 2.Repeat step 1 for each of the other independent sources. 3.Find the total contribution by adding algebraically all the contributions due to the independent sources. Circuit Theorems13 Eastern Mediterranean University

How to turn off independent sources  Turn off voltages sources = short voltage sources; make it equal to zero voltage  Turn off current sources = open current sources; make it equal to zero current Circuit Theorems14 Eastern Mediterranean University
