The document discusses fundamental theorems in circuit theory, focusing on Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, which simplify the analysis of electrical circuits. Thevenin's theorem allows for the replacement of a complex circuit with a simple equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source and a series resistor, while Norton's theorem does the same with a current source and parallel resistor. Additionally, the document covers the maximum power transfer theorem, which states that maximum power is transferred when the load resistance equals the internal resistance of the source network.

62 THEVENIN’S THEOREM g
This. theorem is possibly the most extensively used network theorem,
It is applicable where it is desired to determine the current through or
voltage across any one element .in a network without going through the
regorous méthod of solving a set of network equations.

equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source and a series resistor.
