Superposition theorem

The response in a particular branch when all the sources are acting simultaneously is equal to the algebraic sum of individual responses by considering one source at one time.


All the voltage sources are eliminated by short circuit and current sources are eliminated by open circuiting. do not disturb any dependent sources.


If there are several sources acting simultaneously in an electrical circuit, then the current through any branch of the circuit is summation of currents which would flow through the branch for each source keeping all other sources dead.



Example:


question

Eliminate the voltage source by Short circuiting and find voltage and current across each branch.
supetposotion 1

Finally voltage and current across each branch is given as :

supetposotion 2

Tellegens Theorem

Tellegen theorem states that  the summation of instantaneous powers for the n number of branches in an electrical network is zero. Suppose n number of branches in an electrical network have i 1 , i 2 , i 3 , .............i n respective instantaneous currents through them. These currents satisfy Kirchhoff's Current Law . Again, suppose these branches have instantaneous voltages across them are v 1 , v 2 , v 3 , ........... v n respectively. If these voltages across these elements satisfy Kirchhoff Voltage Law then,

relay

A relay is an electrically operated switch. These are remote control electrical switches that are controlled by another switch. A relay is used to isolate one electrical circuit from another. It allows a low current control circuit to make or break an electrically isolated high current circuit path. The basic relay consists of a coil and a set of contacts. The most common relay coil is a length of magnet wire wrapped around a metal core. When voltage is applied to the coil, current passes through the wire and creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field pulls the contacts together and holds them there until the current flow in the coil has stopped. The diagram below shows the parts of a simple relay. Operation: When a current flows through the coil, the resulting magnetic field attracts an armature that is mechanically linked to a moving contact. The movement either makes or breaks a connection with a fixed contact. When the current is switched off, the armature is usually returned by
