What is Reciprocity Theorem?
Reciprocity Theorem Definition
The reciprocity theorem states that in a reciprocal circuit, the current remains the same when the positions of the voltage source and ammeter are swapped.
Reciprocal Circuit
A circuit that follows the reciprocity theorem, where voltage and current are interchangeable, is called a reciprocal circuit.
Ideal Components
For the reciprocity theorem to work, both the voltage source and ammeter must have zero internal resistance.
Transfer Resistance
In a reciprocal circuit, the ratio of voltage to current is called transfer resistance.
Complex Network Simplification
Complex reciprocal passive networks can be simplified for easier analysis and understanding.
