Circuit Theory:

Ohms Law:

The ratio of potential difference between any two points of a conductor to the current flowing between them is constant, provided the physical condition (temperature) do not change.
V=IR
Discovered by :George Simon Ohm.

Kirchhoff’s Law:

Current law:

The sum of the current flowing towards the junction is equal to the sum of the currents flowing away from it.

Voltage Law:

In closed circuit, the sum of the potential drops is equal to the sum of the potential rises.

The venin’s Theorem

“Any linear active network with output terminals A and B can be replaced by a single voltage source (VTH =VOC) in series with a single impedance (or) (Zth or Rth) resistance.”

Norton’s Theorem

“Any linear active network with output terminals A,B can be replaced by a single current source Isc in parallel with a single impedance (or) resistance Zth=Rth”

Maximum power transfer Theorem

“Maximum power will be delivered from a voltage source to a load, when the load resistance is equal to the internal resistance of the source.”

Reciprocity Theorem

In a linear, bilateral network a voltage source V volts in branch gives rise to a current I, in another branch. If V is applied in the second branch , the current in the first branch will be I. this V/I is called transfer  impedance or resistance.
