Reciprocity Theorem
Reciprocity Theorem states that – In any branch of a network or circuit, the current due to a single source of voltage (V) in the network is equal to the current through that branch in which the source was originally placed when the source is again put in the branch in which the current was originally obtained. This theorem is used in the bilateral linear network which consists of bilateral components.
Steps for Solving a Network Utilizing Reciprocity Theorem
Step 1 – Firstly, select the branches between which reciprocity has to be established.
Step 2 – The current in the branch is obtained using any conventional network analysis method.
Step 3 – The voltage source is interchanged between the branch which is selected.
Step 4 – The current in the branch where the voltage source was existing earlier is calculated.
Step 5 – Now, it is seen that the current obtained in the previous connection, i.e., in step 2 and the current which is calculated when the source is interchanged, i.e., in step 4 are identical to each other.
