Network Theorems (AC)

OBJECTIVES Be able to apply the superposition theorem to ac networks with independent and dependent sources. Become proficient in applying Thévenin’s theorem to ac networks with independent and dependent sources. Be able to apply Norton’s theorem to ac networks with independent and dependent sources. Clearly understand the conditions that must be met for maximum power transfer to a load in an ac network with independent or dependent sources.

SUPERPOSITION THEOREM You will recall from Chapter 9 that the superposition theorem eliminated the need for solving simultaneous linear equations by considering the effects of each source independently. To consider the effects of each source, we had to remove the remaining sources. This was accomplished by setting voltage sources to zero (short-circuit representation) and current sources to zero (open-circuit representation). The current through, or voltage across, a portion of the network produced by each source was then added algebraically to find the total solution for the current or voltage.

SUPERPOSITION THEOREM The only variation in applying this method to ac networks with independent sources is that we are now working with impedances and phasors instead of just resistors and real numbers. The superposition theorem is not applicable to power effects in ac networks since we are still dealing with a nonlinear relationship. It can be applied to networks with sources of different frequencies only if the total response for each frequency is found independently and the results are expanded in a nonsinusoidal expression.

SUPERPOSITION THEOREM Dependent Sources For dependent sources in which the controlling variable is not determined by the network to which the superposition theorem is to be applied, the application of the theorem is basically the same as for independent sources. The solution obtained will simply be in terms of the controlling variables.

THÉVENIN’S THEOREM Thévenin’s theorem, as stated for sinusoidal ac circuits, is changed only to include the term impedance instead of resistance; that is, any two-terminal linear ac network can be replaced with an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source and an impedance in series, as shown in Fig FIG Thévenin equivalent circuit for ac networks.

NORTON’S THEOREM The three methods described for Thévenin’s theorem will each be altered to permit their use with Norton’s theorem. You will recall from Chapter 9 that Norton’s theorem allows us to replace any two-terminal linear bilateral ac network with an equivalent circuit consisting of a current source and an impedance, as in Fig The Norton equivalent circuit, like the Thévenin equivalent circuit, is applicable at only one frequency since the reactances are frequency dependent.
