 Circuit Theory
(Source Transformation)
The Node-Voltage Method and the Mesh-Current
Method are powerful techniques for solving circuits.
A method called Source Transformations will
allow the transformations of a voltage source in
series with a resistor to a current source in parallel
with resistor.

 Source Transformation

 An equivalent circuit is one whose I – V

characteristics are identical with the original circuit.
 A process of replacing
 a voltage source vS in series with a resistor R
or
 a current source iS in parallel with a resistor R.
 Source Transformation

The arrow of the

current source is
directed toward
the positive
terminal of the
voltage source.

• The source transformation is not possible when R = 0 for

voltage source and R = ∞ for current source.

Example:
Use source transformation to find the
current flowing trough R= 5 ohm.

Finally, I = (19.2V – 6V)/(16Ω) = 0.825A
( into 6V source).
