General methods of n/w analysis become laborious and time consuming for large and complex network. For such situations the solution is network theorems. Besides, the other features of n/w theorems are
(A) they are applicable to a useful and fairly wide class of networks.
(B) their conclusions are simple and
(C) they sometimes provide good physical insight into the problems.
The maximum power transfer implies that the load impedance must be the complex conjugate of the source impedance. The superposition theorem is valid for any linear, time invariant or time varying. It is useful in circuit analysis when the n/w has large number of sources. Thevenin’s or Norton’s theorem is applicable to any number of time invariant or time varying n/w. It is useful when only one part of the n/w is varying, while the other part remains constant. Thevenin’s equivalent ckt is the voltage source equivalent at the terminals concerned. Millman’s theorem is
the extension of Thevenin’s or Norton’s theorem for a number of Current or Voltage sources respectively. The substitution theorem is applicable to any network and can be applied to a branch which is not coupled to other branches of the network. Telleng’s theorem is applicable to any lumped n/w regardless of the type of elements, which may be linear or non-linear, time varying or time invariant.
