How to use source transformation to simplify your linear circuits
Description
Day 18 of Linear Circuits. Source transformation is a very, very powerful to analyze linear circuits. Using nothing more than Ohm’s Law, we show you how you can transform a linear circuit into an equivalent circuit that often is much, much easier to solve.
The material covers all of the lecture material from an eighteenth lecture in a traditional, sophomore-level linear circuits class.
