ANALYSIS
41 INTRODUCTION
When a number of network clements* are connected together to form a system
that consists of set(s) of interconnected elements performing specific or assigned
functions, it is called a “network”. An electrically closed network is a “circui
An electrical network is a combination of numerous electric elements (e.g., resis-
tance R, inductance L, capacitance C, etc.).
Some important definitions related to an electrical network are as follows:
Node: It is the junction in a circuit where two or more network elements are
connected together.
Branch: It is that part of the circuit which lies between two junctions in a circuit.
Loop: It is a closed path in a circuit in which no element or node is encountered
more than once.
Mesh: It is such a loop that contains no other loop within it.
4.2; CHARACTERISTICS OF NETWORK ELEMENTS
4.2.1 Linear and Non-linear Elements
A linear element shows linear characteristics of voltage vs current. Thus the
parameters of linear elements remain constant (i.e., the parameters do not change
with voltage or current applied to that element). Resistors, inductors and capaci-
tors are linear elements.
On the other hand, for a non-linear element, the current passing through it
does not change linearly with the linear change in applied voltage across it, at a
particular temperature and frequency. In a non-linear element the parameters
change with applied voltage and current changes. Semiconductor devices like
diodes, transistors, thyristors, etc. are typical examples of non-linear elements.
Ohm's law is not valid for non-linear elements.
*A network element is a component of a circuit having different characteristics like linear, non-
linear, active or passive ete, and will be defined shortly.DC Network Analysis 181
4.2.2 Active and Passive Elements
If a circuit element has the capability of enhancing the energy level of an electric
signal passing through it, it is called an active element, viz., a battery, a trans-
former, semiconductor devices, etc. Otherwise the element that simply allows the
passage of the signal through it ‘out enhancement is called passive element
(viz., resistors, inductors, thermistors and capacitors). Passive elements do not
have any intrinsic property of boosting an electric signal.
4.2.3 Unilateral and Bilateral Elements
If the magnitude of the current passing through an element is affected due to
change in polarity of the applied voltage, the element is called a unilateral ele-
ment. On the other hand if the current magnitude remains the same even if the
polarity of the applied voltage is reversed, it is called a bilateral element. Unilat-
eral elements offer varying impedances with variation in the magnitude or direc-
tion of flow of the current while bilateral elements offer same impedance
irrespective of the magnitude or direction of flow of current. A resistor, an induc-
tance and a capacitor, all are bilateral elements while diodes, transistors, etc. are
unilateral elements.
4.3 SERIES RESISTIVE CIRCUITS
Resistors are said to be in series when they are connected in such a way that there
is only one path through which current can flow. Therefore the current in a series
circuit is the same at all parts in the circuit. The voltage drop across each compo-
nent in a series circuit depends on the current levels and the component resistance
(or impedance).
43.1 Currents and Voltages in a Series Circuits
The circuit diagram for three series connected resis-
tors and a d.c. voltage source is shown in Fig. 4.1.
The total resistance connected across the voltage
source is R = R, + R; + Ry. (R is called the equiva-
lent resistance in ohms for the given circuit.)
For a series circuit with n resistors, the equiva-
lent resistance R is thus
RoR, +Ry+Ryt-- +R, (4.0
The equivalent circuit for the series resistance
circuit is shown in Fig. 4.2. Fig. 4.1 A simple series
The equivalent circuit consists of the voltage seslative clreuit
source E and the equivalent resistance R. The current / flows from the positive
terminal of the voltage source. Using Ohm’s law the current through the series
circuit in ampere is obtained as
E E
RR +R,+Ry+-4R, . (4.2)182
There is only one path for current flow in a
series circuit.
The current flow causes a voltage drop V
or potential difference across each resistor in
the circuit of Fig. 4.). Using Ohm’s law, the
voltage drops across each resistor in volts are
obtained as
V, = AR, V3 = IRy

Since the sum of the resistive voltage drops is equal to the applied emf, for any
series circuit,
E=V,+Vy4 V3 to + Vy
E=l(R + Ry +Ryt-~+R,).
Next we consider series connectiun of voltage
sources instead of series conne: tion of resis-
tors.
If three voltage sources are connected in
series as shown in Fig. 4.3, the resultant volt-
age in volt is
or
E=E,+Ey+ Ey
In Fig. 4.4 the lowermost voltage source E
has its negative terminal connected to the nega-
tive terminal of the middle cell. The resultant
voltage in this case is
E=E,|+E,-E;
In Fig. 4.3 the voltage sources assist one
another to produce the circuit current, so they
are said to be in “series aiding”. In Fig. 4.4
the bottommost voltage source will attempt to
produce current in the opposite direction to.
that formed by the other two. Therefore this
bottommost source is connected in “series op-
posing” with the top two cells.
4.3.2 Voltage Divider
In Fig. 4.5 two series connected resistors are
used as a voltage divider or potential divider.

Voltage Divider Theorem
Ina series circuit, the portion of applied emf developed across each resistor is
the ratio of that resistor's value to the total series resistance in the circuit.
4.3.3 Potentiometer
The circuit diagram of a variable resistor
employed as a potentiometer is shown in
Fig. 4.6. The potentiometer is essentially a
single resistor with terminals at each end
and a movable contact that can be set to any
point on the resistor, Terminals A and B are
the end terminals and terminals C is the ad- Yo
justable contact (Fig. 4.6). {
The output voltage (V,), in volt, is given as ; -

When R)=R,V,=E
and when R, =0,V,=0
Thus it is seen that the potentiometer can be adjusted to give an output
voltage ranging linearly from 0 to E.

In Fig. 4.5, the power (VA) dissipated in 2, is given by

In de circuit volt-ampere power (VA) is same as power expressed in watts. Thus
P is usually expressed in watts in de circuits,
4.3.5 Current-limiting Resistor
Sometimes a resistor is included in series with an electrical circuit or electronic
device to drop the supply voltage down to a
desired level. This resistor can be treated as ty te
a current-limiting resistor. +o
In Fig. 4.7, R, provides a voltage drop to
the series connected lamps Z, and L,. The
lamps operate to a voltage level lower than —
the source voltage even in series connection. Fig. 4.7. Application of current-
Also the resistor R, limits the current J to the limiting resistor Rs
level required by the lamps.
Here circuit current in ampere is obtained as

44 PARALLEL RESISTANCE CIRCUITS
Resistors are said to be connected in parallel when equal voltages appear across
each resistor (or network element). The total current taken from the supply is the
sum of all the individual resistor or network elements’ currents.
4.4.1 Currents and Voltages in Parallel Circuits
Resistors are said to be connected in parallel
when the circuit has two terminals which are
common to each resistor. Figure 4.14 represents
a circuit having three resistors connected in
parallel.
The voltage across each resistor is E volts
and the current through R; is /,, through Ry is /,

Therefore, the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance of resistors in paraltel
connection is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances.
4.4.2 Conductances in Parallel
In de circuits conductance is the reciprocal of resistance and its unit is “Siemens”
(S) in SI units or “mho” in cgs units. If G,, G2, G3, ..., G,, be the conductances of
the resistors connected in parallel then the equivalent conductance (G) in Si-
emens is given by

According to Ohm's law, / = ¥ = VG, where V is the applied voltage, G is the
equivalent conductance of a parallel circuit, and J is the source current.

supply current is divided among the parallel branches.

As there is a short circuited path across R3, i.e., across one of the resistors in
the parallel circuit, no current will flow through resistors R,, Rz and R;. Total
current will flow from the battery through the short circuited path and the current

resistance of the battery and lead resistances of the wires. If the internal resis-
tance of the battery be taken only and is equal to Rj, then current / = E/R, which is
also very high (as the internal resistance of a battery is very small).

ii) When terminals across. 10 Q resistor is short circuited as shown in Fig. 4.26(b), no
current will pass through the 5 Q resistor as there is a short-circuited path in parallel with
it. Therefore current through the 5 & resistor is 0.
The supply current J will pass through 15 Q and through the short circuited path.
Hence the current through the short circuited path is SO/IS A = 10/3 A = 3.33 A.
4.6 KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS
A German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff developed two laws enabling easier analy-
sis of circuits containing interconnected impedances. The first law deals with
flow of current and is popularly known as Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) while
the second one deals with voltage drop in a closed circuit and is known as
Kirchhoff’s voltage laws (KVL).
4.6.1 Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
It states that in any electrical network the
algebraic sum of currents meeting at any
node of a circuit is zero.
In Fig. 4.27, i, and 7 are the inward ig
currents towards the junction 0 and are as- is
sumed as negative currents, Currents f3, i, ; 's
and is are outward currents and taken as '
positive. As per KCL,
wi, — i; +i; +i, +i5=0
ie, ip +ip= is + iy + is (4.18) Fig. 4.27 Explanation of KCL
ie., the algebraic sum of currents entering a node must be equal to the algebraic
sum of currents leaving that node.
4.6.2 Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
It states that the algebraic sum of voltages A Ve
(or voltage drops) in any closed path, in a
network, traversed in a single direction is +
zero. MN
In Fig. 4.28, if we travel clockwise in the
network along the direction of the current, Ry
application of KVL yields -
-V, +R, + Vz + iR, + iR, =0 -
or VR) +R, 4R)+V, (4.19)
{We can also write equation (4.19) as fol-
lows:
Fig. 4.28 Explanation of KVL
or (4.20)]DC Network Analysis 197
We consider the voltage drop as positive when current flows from positive to
negative potential. Hence V, is negative while V3 is positive in the first step of
equation (4.19).
4.6.3 Network Analysis Procedure using Kirchhoff’s Laws
1. Convert all current sources to voltage sources.
2, Letter or number all junctions on the network as A, B, C or 1, 2, 3 etc.
3. Identify current directions and voltage polarities and number them accord-
ing to the resistor involved.
4. Identify each current path according to the lettered junctions and applying
Kirchhoff’s voltage law, write the voltage equations for the paths.
5. Applying Kirchhoff’s current law, write the equations for the currents ¢n-
tering and leaving all junctions where more than one current is involved.
6. Solve the equations by substitution to find the unknown currents and or
voltages.

4.7 NODAL ANALYSIS
Nodal analysis is based on Kirchhoff’s current law. This method has the advan-
tage that a minimum number of equations are needed to determine the unknown
quantities. Moreover, it is particularly suited for networks having many parallel
branches and also when there are current sources in the network.
For the application of this method one of the nodes in the network is regarded
as the reference or datum node or zera potential node. The number of simulta-
neous equations to be solved becomes (n — 1), where is the number of indepen-
dent nodes.

in different meshes are assigned continuous paths so that they do not split at a

by KVL in terms of unknown loop currents. Circuits with voltage sources are
comparatively easier to be solved by this method.208 Basic Electrical Engineerin;

4.10 VOLTAGE SOURCES AND CURRENT
SOURCES
A network can sometimes be simplified by converting voltage sources to current
sources and vice versa.
Voltage sources can be represented by an ideal voltage cell in series with the
intemal resistance of the cell or battery. The ideal
cell is assumed to be a constant voltage source
and the output current produces a voltage drop As “

If Ry « R,, then V, =E
When the load resistance is very much larger than the source resistance, the
constant voltage source is assumed to have zero source resistance and all of the
source voltage is assumed to be applied to the load.
Certain electronic devices can produce a current that tends to remain constant
regardless of how the load resistance varies. Hence it is possible to have a
‘constant current source. The circuit of constant current source is shown in
Fig. 4.62 with its source resistance Ry and a load resistance R,.

Here Rs is in parallel with the current source. Hence some current flows through
Rs and remaining through R,. Using the current divider rule as shown in

be determined in terms of R, and Rs!

When the load resistance is very much smaller than the source resistance, a
constant current source is assumed to have an infinite source resistance, and all of
the source current is assumed to flow through the load.227
4.10.1 Source Conversion
According to source conversion technique a given voltage source with a series
resistance can be converted into an equivalent
current source with a parallel resistance (as ex-
plained in Art. 4.10). Similarly, a current source
with a parallel resistance can be converted into
a voltage source with a series resistance.
Here we explain again the conversion of the Lo

an equivalent constant current source. Fig. 4.64 A constant voltage

4.10.2. Independent and Dependent Sources
The voltage or current sources which do not depend on any other quantity in the
circuit (i.e the strength of voltage or current in the sources), and do not change
for any change in the connected network, are called independent sources. Inde-
pendent sources are represented by circles. An independent voltage source and an
independent current source is shown in Fig. 4.74.1(a) and 4.74.1(b)

A dependent voltage or current source is one which depend on some other
quantity in the circuit (may be either voltage or current) i. the strength of voltage
or current changes in the source for any change in the connected network. Depen-
dent sources are represented by diamond-shaped symbol. There are four possible
dependent sources:
Voltage dependent voltage source, as shown in Fig. 4.74.1(c).
Voltage dependent current source, as shown in Fig. 4.74.1(d).
Current dependent current source, as shown in Fig. 4.74. 1(e).
Current dependent voltage source as shown in Fig. 4.74.1(f).
In the above figures a, b, c and d are the constants of proportionality @ and c
has no units, unit of b is siemens and unit of d is ohms.
Some examples of independent sources are battery, de (or ac) generator. Depen-
dent sources are parts of models which are used to represent electrical properties
of electronic devices such as operational amplifiers and transistors etc.232 Basic Electrical Engineering

411 SUPERPOSITION THEOREM
Statement: In a linear bilateral network containing several sources, the current
through or voltage across any branch in the network equals the algebraic sun of
the currents or voltages of each individual source considered separately with all
other sources made inoperative, i.e., replaced by resistances equal to their inter-
nal resistances,
It may be noted here that while removing the voltage source it should be
replaced by its internal resistance (if any) or by a short circuit and while remov-
ing the current source it should be replaced by an open circuit. Superposition
theorem is applicable only to linear networks (both ac and dc) where current is
linearly related to voltage as per Ohm’s law.

4.11.1 Procedure for Applying Superposition Theorem
1. Select one source and replace all other sources by their internal impedances.
2. Determine the level and direction of the current that flows through the
desired branch as a result of the single source acting alone.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 using each source in turn until the branch current
components have been calculated for all sources.
Algebrically sum the component currents to obtain the actual branch
current(s).

412 THEVENIN’S THEOREM
Statement: The current flowing through a load resistance R, connected across any
V,
two terminals A and B of a linear, bilateral network is given by Rak , where
i + Ry
Vo, is the open circuit voltage (i.e voltage across terminals AB when R, is re-
moved) and R; is the internal resistance of the network as viewed back into the
open circuited network from terminals AB deactivating all the independent ‘sources.
The following are the limitations of this theorem:
(@) Thevenin’s theorem can not be applied to a network which contains non-
linear impedances.
(ii) This theorem can not calculate the power consumed internally in the circuit
or the efficiency of the circuit.-
~ Thevenin’s theorem can be explained with the help of the following simple
example. The steps are as follows:

4.13 NORTON’S THEOREM
Basic Electrical Engineering
According to this theorem, any two-terminal active network containing voltage
sources and resistances when viewed from its output terminals is equivalent to a
constant current source and an internal (parallel) resistance. The constant cur-
rent source (known as Norton’s equivalent current source) is of the magnitude of
the short circuit current at the terminals. The
internal resistance is the equivalent resistance
of the network looking back into the termi-
nals with all the sources replaced by their
internal resistances.
A network is shown in Fig. 4.98 to explain
Norton’s theorem. Let us find out the current
through R, using Norton's theorem.
The steps are as follows:
Step I
Remove (R,) and short circuit the terminals a
and 6 [Fig. 4.98(a)]. The current through the
short circuited path is /,,= EVR, (= Iy), where
Ty is the Norton's equivalent current.

For finding internal resistance R, of the
network, terminals a and 4 is open circuited
and the source is deactivated [Fig. 4.98(b)].

4.14 EQUIVALENCE OF THEVENIN’S AND
NORTON’S THEOREMS
Figure 4.110 shows the equivalency of Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems. It can
be proved that the equivalent circuits given by Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorem
yield exactly the same current and same voltage in the load impedance and they
are effectively identical to one another. In any particular problem, either theorem
can therefore be used. In most cases Thevenin’s theorem is the easier to apply,
although when the network impedance is high compared with the load imped-
ance, the Norton's theorem concept may simplify calculations.

4.15 MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM
As applied to de networks this theorem may be stated as follows: A resistive load
abstracts maximum power from a network when the load resistance equals the
internal resistance of the network as viewed from the output terminals, with all
energy sources removed, leaving behind their internal resistances.
This theorem is aplicable to all branches of electrical engineering including
analysis of communication networks. However the overall efficency of a network
supplying maximum power to any branch is only 50%; hence application of this
theorem to power transmission and distribution networks is limited because in
that case, the final target is high efficiency and not maximum power transfer. But
in electronics and communication network as the purpose is to receive or transmit
maximum power, even at low efficiency, the problem of maximum power transfer
is of crucial importance in the operation of communication lines and antennas.
