DC Network Theorems Unit 1 – DC Network Theorems
Exercise 1 – Component Location/Identification
EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
When you have completed this exercise, you will be able to locate the major circuit blocks of the
DC NETWORK THEOREMS circuit board. You will verify your results by correctly identifying
circuits and components.
DISCUSSION
- The DC NETWORK THEOREMS circuit board provides examples of networks that can be
solved with various theorems. - The circuit board is organized into the following 9 circuit blocks:
KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LAW
KIRCHHOFF’S VOLTAGE LAW
KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS COMBINED
SUPERPOSITION
THEVENIN CIRCUITS
THEVENIZING A BRIDGE CIRCUIT
THEVENIN / NORTON CONVERSION
∆ TO Y OR Y TO ∆ - A tenth block is configured as a CONSTANT CURRENT SOURCE.
- Three types of resistors are used on the DC NETWORK THEOREMS circuit board. The
resistors are carbon composition, carbon film, and metal film types. - Fixed and variable power sources are used on the board.
