7th Week: "Source Transformation - AC"

"Source Transformation"


As figure below shows, source transformation in the frequency domain involves transforming a voltage source in series with an impedance to a current source in parallel with an impedance, or vice versa.

However, we should keep the following points in mind when dealing with source transformation.

1. Note from Figure above that the arrow of the current source is directed toward the positive terminal of the voltage source.
3. Note that source transformation is not possible when R = 0, which is the case with an ideal voltage source. However, for a practical, nonideal voltage source, R = 0. Similarly, an ideal current source with R = ∞ cannot be replaced by a finite voltage source.

Example:

Learning:

• The process that are used in DC analysis is the same with the AC analysis.
