FIGURE P3.7.4

Solution:

Current through 2.5-Ω resistor is

10 × 12.5 A = 5.55 A
22.5
Voltage across 2.5-Ω resistor = 5.55 × 2.5 = 13.89 V.
Interchanging the excitation and response, we get

V ¢ = Drop across 12.5-Ω resistor, as there is no current through 5 Ω.

c03SolutionsToProblems_V2.indd 218 1/31/2022 2:01:02 PM


Solutions to Problems 219

Current through 12.5 –Ω resistor = 10 × 2.5 = 1.11 A


22.5
V ¢ = 1.11 ×12.5 = 13.89 V

Since both voltages are same, reciprocity theorem is verified. It is to be noted that here the excitation is a
current source and response is voltage across a branch. Note the way the current source is connected in
the second case.

Now interchanging 20 V and Ix, we get

The 10 kΩ and 5 kΩ resistances are short circuited, so

I ¢x = 20 = 5mA = I x
4k
Hence, reciprocity theorem is verified.

220 C HA PTER 3 Network Theorems

Solution:

This is another application of compensation theorem, wherein a resistor can be replaced by an inde-
pendent voltage source, whose magnitude is equal to the voltage drop across the resistor (with correct
polarity) or by an independent current source, equal to the current through it (with correct direction).
This is called substitution theorem. In Fig. P3.8.1., the equivalent resistance across the voltage source is,

Req = 1+ (2 || (1.5 + 2.6)) = 2.34 kΩ


I = 6 = 2.56 mA
Req
I 1 = 1.72 mA
I 2 = 0.84 mA

Voltage across 2 – Ω resistor = 2 ×1.72 = 3.44 V


We can replace the 2-Ω with an independent voltage source of 3.44 V as shown in fig.

I 2¢ = 3.44 = 0.84 mA = I 2
4.1k

I ¢ = 6 – 3.44 = 2.56 mA = I
1k
I 1¢ = I ¢ – I 2¢ = 1.72 mA = I 1

3.8.2 In Fig. P3.8.2, the bridge is balanced so that the current through the galvanometer is zero. If the 10-Ω
resistor is changed to 13 Ω, find the current through the galvanometer using compensation theorem.

222 C HA PTER 3 Network Theorems

Solution:

Step 1: Let’s find currents I1 and I2.

I 1 = 10 × 7 = 7A; I 2 = 3A
10
Step 2: The 3-Ω resistor is changed to 7-Ω. Therefore ∆R = 4 Ω. The compensating voltage
VC = 7 × 4 = 28 V. We draw the compensating network as shown in Fig. 1. The current source is
replaced by an open circuit.

DI 1 = –28 = –2A
14
DI 2 = 2A

I 1 + DI 1 = 7 – 2 = 5 A and I 2 + DI 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 A

Step 3: We now consider the original network with 3 Ω replaced by 7 Ω as shown in Fig. 2.

I 1¢ = 5 A = I 1 + DI 1

I 2¢ = 5A = I 2 + DI 2

Hence, compensation theorem is verified.
