Unit I – Network Theorems and Basic

Circuit Laws
Q1(a): Voltage and Current Division Formulas
Voltage Division Rule (VDR):

Used when resistors are connected in series.


If resistors R1, R2, ..., Rn are in series with voltage V, then voltage across Rk is:
Vk = (Rk / (R1 + R2 + ... + Rn)) × V

Derivation:
All resistors have the same current I = V / ΣRi. So,
Vk = I × Rk = (V / ΣRi) × Rk

Current Division Rule (CDR):

Used when resistors are connected in parallel.


If total current is I, and resistors R1, R2 are in parallel, current through R1 is:
I1 = (R2 / (R1 + R2)) × I

Derivation:
Voltage across both resistors is same, so:
I1 = V / R1, I2 = V / R2, I = I1 + I2
⇒ I1 = (R2 / (R1 + R2)) × I

Q1(b): Equivalent Capacitance


Series Connection:
1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3

Parallel Connection:
Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3

Q1(c): Equivalent Resistance of Ladder Network


Given a complex ladder network:

1. Combine 25Ω and 50Ω in series:


R1 = 25 + 50 = 75 Ω
2. R1 in parallel with 100Ω:
R2 = (1/75 + 1/100)^-1 ≈ 42.86 Ω
3. Add next 50Ω in series:
R3 = 42.86 + 50 = 92.86 Ω
4. R3 in parallel with 100Ω:
R4 = (1/92.86 + 1/100)^-1 ≈ 47.62 Ω
5. Add 100Ω in series:
R5 = 47.62 + 100 = 147.62 Ω
6. R5 in parallel with final 75Ω:
Req = (1/147.62 + 1/75)^-1 ≈ 49.28 Ω
