Linearity Property: Linearity is the property of an elementdescribing a linear relationship betweencause and effect: A linear circuit is one whose output islinearly ( or directly proportional) to itsinput.2SJTU
SJTU 2 Linearity Property • Linearity is the property of an element describing a linear relationship between cause and effect. • A linear circuit is one whose output is linearly ( or directly proportional) to its input

Superposition(1): The superposition principle states thatvoltage across (or current through) anelement in a linear circuit is the algebraicsum of the voltages across (or currentsthrough) that element due to eachindependent source acting aloneSJTU
SJTU 4 Superposition(1) • The superposition principle states that voltage across (or current through) an element in a linear circuit is the algebraic sum of the voltages across (or currents through) that element due to each independent source acting alone

Superposition(2)Steps to Apply Superposition Principle:1.Turn off all independent source except one source. Findthe output(voltage or current) due to that active sourceusing nodal or mesh analysis.2.Repeat step 1 for each of the other independent sources3.Find the total contribution by adding algebraically all thecontributions due to the independent sources5SJTU

Source Transformation(1): A source transformation is the process of replacinga voltage source V. in series with a resistor R by acurrent source i, in parallel with a resistor R, orV,=i,R or i=Vs/Rvice versa.Roa0RVob68SJTU
SJTU 8 Source Transformation(1) • A source transformation is the process of replacing a voltage source Vs in series with a resistor R by a current source is in parallel with a resistor R, or vice versa. Vs=isR or is=Vs /R
