Superposition Theorem

StarStarStarStar

In a linear circuit with several sources, the voltage/current in any element is the algebraic sum of the voltages/currents produced by each source acting independently.

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)

StarStarStarStar

States that the total current entering a junction or node is equal to the total current leaving the node.

StarStarStarStar

Ohm's Law

StarStarStarStar

Describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

StarStarStarStar

Norton's Theorem

StarStarStarStar

Any collection of voltage sources, current sources, and resistors with two terminals is electrically equivalent to an ideal current source in parallel with a single resistor.

StarStarStarStar

Nodal Analysis

StarStarStarStar

A systematic method of calculating the voltages at various nodes of a circuit, using Kirchhoff's Current Law.

StarStarStarStar

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)

StarStarStarStar

States that the sum of all electrical potential differences around any closed network is zero.

StarStarStarStar

Thevenin's Theorem

StarStarStarStar

Any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources and only resistances can be replaced by an equivalent voltage source in series with a resistance.

StarStarStarStar

Mesh Analysis

StarStarStarStar

A method that simplifies the calculation of currents in circuits that can be drawn on a planar surface, using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law on loops in the circuit.
