Network Theorems (Part I)-Numerical Problems Key points: - The problems considered in this set are involving both dependent and independent sources. Following points may be noted ο· Dependent sources are voltage or current sources whose output is function of another parameter in the circuit. ο· Dependent sources only produce a voltage or current when an independent voltage or current source is in the circuit. ο· Dependent sources are treated like independent sources when using nodal or mesh analysis but not with superposition. 1.
