Superposition Theorem Superposition Theorem: Given a Linear Network That Contains Multiple Sources… ECET 2111 Circuits II Network Theorems Superposition Theorem Superposition Theorem: Given a linear network that contains multiple sources… Any voltage (or current) in the network may be determined by solving for that voltage (or current) with each of the sources individually “turned-on” (and all of the other sources “turned-off ”), and then summing the individual solutions. Z1 Z2 + + ~ ~ ~ VA V3 Z3 IB - 1 Ideal Sources “Turned-Off” Since an Ideal Voltage Source maintains a constant voltage independent of current flow, if the source is “turned off” (set to zero volts), then the voltage across the source’s terminals will be zero independent of the source’s current. This is equivalent to the characteristics of an “ideal wire”… Thus, an Ideal Voltage Source that is “turned-off” acts like an ideal wire: ~ ~ I I + ~ ~ V = 0 V = 0 Ideal Sources “Turned-Off” Since an Ideal Current Source maintains a constant current independent of the source voltage, if the source is “turned off” (set to zero volts), then the current flowing through the source will be zero independent of the voltage across its terminals. This is equivalent to the characteristics of an “open-circuit”… Thus, an Ideal Current Source that is “turned-off” acts like an open-circuit: ~ I = 0 ~ ~ ~ V I = 0 V 2 Superposition Theorem Example Superposition Theorem Example: Given the following circuit containing two sources… Determine the voltage V3 using the superposition theorem.

T Single-Port External Network Devices Connected Here H 8 Thevenin’s Theorem Thevenin’s theorem: (For steady-state AC circuits) Any linear, single-port network can be replaced by a simple equivalent network that consists of a single voltage source, VTH , in series with a single impedance, ZTH , without affecting the operation of any devices that are externally connected to the network’s terminals. T ZTH T Single-Port External + Network Devices ~ VTH Connected Here H H Thevenin’s Theorem The simple equivalent network is often referred to as Thevenin’s Equivalent Circuit, where: • VTH is Thevenin’s Equivalent Voltage, and • ZTH is Thevenin’s Equivalent Impedance. T ZTH A Single-Port External + Network Devices ~ VTH Connected Here B H 9 Thevenin’s Theorem The values for VTH and ZTH can be determined as follows: The value for VTH is obtained by determining the open- circuited terminal voltage of the single-port network with all sources in the network “turned-on”. The value for ZTH is obtained by determining the resistance “seen” looking into the terminals of the original single- port network with all of the independent sources contained within the network “turned-off”. Maximum Power Transfer Theorem 10 Maximum Power Transfer Theorem The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem states that, in order to transfer maximum power from a linear, single-port, AC network to a single, arbitrary impedance-type load where: Z L RL jX L the value of the impedance should be set equal to the complex conjugate of the single-port network’s Thevenin Equivalent Impedance. If: ZTH RTH jX TH T Single-Port Network * ZL Then set: Z L ZTH RTH jX TH H Maximum Power Transfer Theorem Additionally, the Maximum Power Transfer Theorem states that, in order to transfer maximum power from the single- port network to an arbitrary, purely-resistive load where: Z L RL the value of the load resistance should be set equal to the magnitude of the Thevenin Equivalent Impedance.

  • Superposition Theorem
    Superposition theorem Superposition theorem states that: In a linear circuit with several sources the voltage and current responses in any branch is the algebraic sum of the voltage and current responses due to each source acting independently with all other sources replaced by their internal impedance. OR In any linear circuit containing multiple independent sources, the current or voltage at any point in the network may be calculated as algebraic sum of the individual contributions of each source acting alone The process of using Superposition Theorem on a circuit: To solve a circuit with the help of Superposition theorem follow the following steps: First of all make sure the circuit is a linear circuit; or a circuit where Ohm’s law implies, because Superposition theorem is applicable only to linear circuits and responses. Replace all the voltage and current sources on the circuit except for one of them. While replacing a Voltage source or Current Source replace it with their internal resistance or impedance. If the Source is an Ideal source or internal impedance is not given then replace a Voltage source with a short; so as to maintain a 0 V potential difference between two terminals of the voltage source. And replace a Current source with an Open; so as to maintain a 0 Amps Current between two terminals of the current source. Determine the branch responses or voltage drop and current on every branch simply by using KCL, KVL or Ohm’s Law. Repeat step 2 and 3 for every source the circuit has. Now algebraically add the responses due to each source on a branch to find the response on the branch due to the combined effect of all the sources.

  • Superposition Theorem for Linear AC Circuit Using Triangular Fuzzy System
    International Journal of Grid and Distributed Computing Vol. 13, No. 1, (2020), pp. 1695–1699 Superposition Theorem For Linear AC Circuit Using Triangular Fuzzy System 1J. Hellan Priya 2G.Veeramalai 1&2 Assistant Professors, Department of Mathematics, M.Kumarasamy College of Engineering (Autonomous), Karur [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract In this paper, a new approaches to solve linear network using triangular fuzzy superposition theorem of AC circuit and also establish the superposition theorem based problems on linearly independent current source or voltage source of linear network. A new idea is apply to find the optimal current source or voltage source in the given linear circuit using linear fuzzy systems and also numerical illustration are given. Keywords: Triangular Fuzzy system, AC Circuit, Linear Network, etc. INTRODUCTION: All the electrical problems cannot be solved by linear system. Many capabilities possess the nonlinear ones, which output and input are coupled nonlinearly. Even if the problem is solvable with a linear time variant system, the nonlinear device does it usually with a simpler structure in some cases just with several units. The Superposition theorem is applicable to linear network consisting of independent sources, linear dependent sources, linear passive elements and linear transformers. When the linear circuit has large number of sources is current or voltage source use superposition theorem to obtain the current or voltage in any branch of the circuit. Since the AC circuits are linear the superposition theorem applies to AC circuits the same manner to applied DC circuits. The theorem becomes important if the circuit has sources operating at different frequencies.
