Distributed and Lumped Network:
In Lumped network, we can separate resistance,
inductance, and capacitance separately or single
element in one location is used to represent a
distributed resistance.
Example: A coil having large number of turns of
insulated wire has resistance throughout the length of
wire but only resistance at single plane represents the
distributed resistance.
In Distributed network, the circuit elements are not at
one location rather they are distributed.
Example: Transmission line, the resistance,
(d)
inductance and capacitance are distributed
throughout the length of Transmission line.
Note: In distributed network, the circuit elements
are represented as per unit length.

(e) Non Linearity of circuit elements:


1. Resistance Non Linearity: If the current
voltage relationship in an element is not
linear, then the element is modeled as non
linear resistor.
Example: Diode, filament lamp (This at

Note: Ohm’s law is valid for linear circuit


elements. Also it is not valid for open circuit
element because for open circuit:
I = 0, R = 
So V = 
V  IR
2. Inductors non linearity: When the
inductance of inductor depends on the
current magnitude, then the inductor is
called non linear inductor:
Example: Iron core inductor.
Only air core inductor linear

(VOC) Example : For Case 2:- Determine the current
IN = Short circuit current at through 1W resistor across x-y in the circuit shown

terminala-v. using Thevenin’s theorem:-

2. In the absence of any dependent sources,


the Rth is equivalent to resistance at terminal
a-b while making all voltage sources SC and
current source open circuit.

Sol:To find Vth, remove 1L resistor a cross x, y


terminal and calculate Vxy as:-

3. Norton’s Theorem:-
Any two terminal linear bilateral network containing
active and passive elements can be replaced by a
equivalent current source in parallel to an equivalent
impedance. Current source is equal to the shout
circuit current through given terminals.
KVL at left most loop:-

V0 = 6V

VA = 2V0 = 12V

To find Thevenin Resistance, open circuit the 5A IN =
Rth
current source and short circuit 18V and 15V voltage
source. Inject a 1A current in to network at x, · To find RN , it follows the 3 methods as
given for Thevenin circuit.
· RN Can be obtained in same manner as Rth.
Example : - Find the current flowing through
3Wresistor using Norton’s theorem.
Solution :
V0 = 0
VA = 0

VA - 5i = V xy
-5i = Vxy ........(1)
Andvxy = 4(i + 1)
Step-I:- Replace lord resistor by short circuit
-5i = 4i + 4
and find I S .C
