1. Network Terminology
• [Link]
• Any arrangement of the various electrical energy sources along with the
different circuit elements is called an electrical network.
1. Network Terminology
[Link] Element
Any individual circuit element with two terminals
which can be connected to other circuit element, is
called a network element.
Active Element:
Which supply power or energy to the network.
Ex. Voltage source and current source
Passive Element:
which either store energy or dissipate energy in the form of heat.
Ex. Resistor, inductor and capacitor
1. Network Terminology
[Link]
A part of the network which
connects the various points of
the network with one another
is called a branch.
1. Network Terminology
[Link] Point
A point where three or
more branches meet is
called a junction point.
1. Network Terminology
[Link]
A point at which two or more
elements are joined together
is called node. The
junction points are also the
nodes of the network.
1. Network Terminology
[Link] (or Loop)
is a set of branches forming a
dosed path in a network in such
a way that if one branch is
removed then remaining
branches do not form a closed
path. A loop also can be defined
as a closed path which
originates from a particular
node, terminating at the same
node, travelling through various
other nodes, without travelling
through any node twice.

Source Transformation
Example
Source Shifting
• If in a network there is no impedance in series/parallel with a voltage
source/current source, then source transformation can not be directly
applied.
