2. Linearity Property
Linearity is the property of an element describing a linear relationship between cause and effect.
A linear circuit is one whose output is linearly ( or directly proportional) to its input.

4. Superposition(1)
The superposition principle states that 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.
SJTU

5. Superposition(2) Steps to Apply Superposition Principle:
Turn off all independent source except one source. Find the output(voltage or current) due to that active source using nodal or mesh analysis.
Repeat step 1 for each of the other independent sources.
Find the total contribution by adding algebraically all the contributions due to the independent sources.

8. Source Transformation(1)
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. Vs=isR or is=Vs/R

It also applies to dependent sources:

14. Substitution Theorem
If the voltage across and current through any branch of a dc bilateral network are known, this branch can be replaced by any combination of elements that will maintain the same voltage across and current through the chosen branch.

16. Thevenin’s Theorem
A linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source Vth in series with a resistor Rth, where Vth is the open-circuit voltage at the terminals and Rth is the input or equivalent resistance at the terminals when the independent source are turned off.

19. Thevenin’s Theorem Consider 2 cases in finding Rth:
Case 1 If the network has no dependent sources, just turn off all independent sources, calculate the equivalent resistance of those resistors left.
Case 2 If the network has dependent sources, there are two methods to get Rth:

20. Thevenin’s Theorem
Case 2 If the network has dependent sources, there are two methods to get Rth:
Turn off all the independent sources, apply a voltage source v0 (or current source i0) at terminals a and b and determine the resulting current i0 (or resulting voltage v0), then Rth= v0/ i0

21. Thevenin’s Theorem
Case 2 If the network has dependent sources, there are two methods to get Rth:
2. Calculate the open-circuit voltage Voc and short-circuit current Isc at the terminal of the original circuit, then Rth=Voc/Isc
Rth=Voc/Isc

23. Norton’s Theorem
A linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a current source IN in parallel with a resistor RN, where IN is the short-circuit current through the terminals and RN is the input or equivalent resistance at the terminals when the independent sources are turned off.

SJTU

28. Maximum Power Transfer (several questions)
If the load RL is invariable, and RTh is variable, then what should RTh be to make RL get maximum power?
If using Norton equivalent to replace the original circuit, under what condition does the maximum transfer occur?
Is it true that the efficiency of the power transfer is always 50% when the maximum power transfer occurs?
