NETWORK REDUCTION AND THEOREMS FOR DC AND AC CIRCUITS


VOLTAGE DIVISION:

To find the expressions for the voltages V1, V2 and V3 in terms of V, R1, R2, R3 for


Current division formula:

(a) In many cases, we will have only two resistors connected in parallel

Let these resistors be R1 and R2 as shown in the Fig.2.2.


The total current = I

Current through R1 = I

Current through R2 = I2

To express I1, and I2, in terms of I, R1 and R2.


Note: In case R, and R2 are parallel, the equivalent resistance R can be found as below: We come across parallel combination of two resistors very often. So it is better to remember the following formula for R.


The reader is to note that the above formula is true only for two resistances in parallel.

(b) When three resistors are in parallel: To find equivalent resistance and the expressions for branch currents. Refer Fig.1.12

Let R1, R2 and R3 be the resistors in parallel.

Let I be the supply current or total current.

Let I1, I2 and I3 be the currents through R1, R2 and R3 respectively.


To find the currents I1, 12 and 13 : Given R1, R2, R3 and I.

We know that,


Note:

1. If there are n resistors each of R ohms connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is RT = R / n

2. For getting more resistance we need series combination.

3. For getting lesser resistance we need parallel combination.
