Resistance calculator
Resistors are the basic building blocks of a circuit. They are used in circuits as voltage dividers, current limits, termination for communication links, etc. It is important to know how…
Steps to convert Thevenin’s circuit to Nortons
Thevenin's and Norton's theorems are circuit simplification methods, applied to simplify complex linear circuits and making circuit analysis easy and fast. These theorems are proposed by Léon Charles Thévenin and…
Maximum Power transfer theorem
In an electric circuit, power flows from the source to the load. The source itself has some amount of impedance which affects the current flow. Therefore, transfer of power depends…
Superposition theorem
Superposition theorem can be used to find the current or voltage in any circuit containing more than one independent sources. By using this method, we calculate the contribution of each…
Current Division rule
As we know, in a parallel circuit current divides into all branches. The current flow through each branch is inversely proportional to the resistance offered by each one them. The…
Norton’s Theorem
Norton’s theorem is used to simplify complex linear circuits and making circuit analysis easy and fast. This theorem was proposed by E. L. Norton, an American engineer at Bell Laboratories.…
Thevenin’s Theorem -explanation, equivalent circuit & examples
Circuits can contain many power sources and power dissipation elements. It is common that any one of the elements in the circuit is a variable while all others are fixed.…
Ohm’s Law – Relationship between current and voltage
Ohm’s law is one of the basic principles of electricity. It relates the basic parameters of electricity, current and voltage, to each other. Georg Ohm, after whom the law was…
Difference between Higher potential and lower potential
Before getting into the topic, we have to keep two points in mind.1. Conventional Current flow. (The way Current is said to flow historically)2. Actual current flow. (The way Current…
Voltage division rule | Potential divider circuit
The voltage division rule is one of the basic rules of circuit analysis. It is applicable to all series and combination resistor circuits. A series connection of resistors always acts…
