Source Transformation Techniques in Circuits

The document explains the concept of source transformation, which allows for the replacement of a voltage source in series with a resistance by a current source in parallel with the same resistance, and vice versa. It provides examples demonstrating how to apply source transformations to find voltages and currents in circuits. Additionally, it lists problems requiring the use of source transformations to find specific currents.

Source Transformation
A source transformation allows us to replace a voltage source in series with a resistance by a current source in parallel
with the same resistance, or vice versa

Example 1

Use concept of source transformation to find the voltage Vm

Solution

8+8/3=
1 5

2 6

4Ω 3Ω

8
3 𝑖 + = 2 → 𝑖 = 2 − 8/3
3
𝑉𝑚 = 𝑉3Ω = 3𝑖

6//3
Example 2

Use concept of source transformation to find the voltage 𝒊∆

Solution

1
30 − 14𝑖∆

10(30 − 14𝑖∆ ) (300 − 140𝑖∆ )


𝑖∆ = =
710 710

2 𝟑𝟎𝟎 710𝑖∆ + 140𝑖∆ = 300 → 𝒊∆ = 𝟎. 𝟑𝟓𝟑 𝐀

Find vx using source transformation

Solution

18+Vx (18+Vx)/4

3+ (18+Vx)/4=
(30+Vx)/4
Vx=(30+Vx)/4 * 4/5
4/5
