Review of Circuit Analysis
Common Symbols
Independent Sources
Battery
• Constant voltage
• DC voltage source
+-
Voltage Source
• Can be constant or time varying
• +/- indicates polarity
Current Source
• Can be constant or time varying
• Arrow denotes direction of current flow
Dependent Sources
• Depend upon the voltage/current measured at some location in the circuit to provide its value
• Often a linear proportionality term, but can be non-linear

The parallel combination will always be less than the smaller of the two resistors
Useful cases
• Parallel combination of 2 identical resistors
•
Case where one resistor is much larger than the other
→ Equivalent resistance looks mostly like the smaller of the two resistors

• Only valid for linear circuits
• For the case where there are multiple voltage/current sources
• The voltage [current] at any node [branch] of a circuit can be found by adding the sum of the
contributions of each source, while all others are turned off
• Method

Thevenin / Norton Equivalent Circuits
• “Black box” representation of a circuit
• Exactly the same when viewed from the terminals
• Internal circuitry may be different
Thevenin
Norton
How to determine values – Vth, IN, Rth=RN
Rth = RN
Turn off all sources (V → short circuit; I → open circuit)
Solve for the equivalent resistance
Vth
Disconnect (i.e. open circuit) the circuit at the location of interest
Solve for the “open-circuit voltage” at this location
IN
Short circuit the location of interest
Calculate the current that flows through this short (i.e. “short-circuit current”)
Ex. Find the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits to the left of the amplifier.
