Anything about circuit theory, the branch of electrical engineering concerned with the mathematical methods for representing (modeling) and analyzing lumped circuits in abstract fashion.

Although circuit theory deals with lumped-parameters circuits, some of its methods can be applied to devices or systems that cannot be analyzed properly using only a lumped-parameter model. For example S-parameters applied to microwave circuits.

As examples, some common and less common topics covered by circuit theory follow.

  • Kirchhoff's laws.
  • Series/parallel transformations.
  • Voltage/current divider formulas.
  • Nodal analysis methods.
  • Mesh analysis methods.
  • Star/delta transformations
  • Electrical networks theorems (superimposition, Thévenin's/Norton's, Miller's, etc.)
  • 2-port networks modeling: h-parameters, z-parameters, etc.
  • Transfer functions theory.
  • Non-linear devices modeling.

Q&A LED driver with feedback through light. Which feedback topology is better?

I’d like to create a stable IR LED light source. I’ve read that LED efficiency changes with temperature. I’ve seen two designs which used feedback through light to correct the LED temperature dri...

Q&A Understanding the s11 and s21 coefficients of a microstrip line with resistor to ground

I thought I understood the theory of scattering parameters, smith charts etc. until I tried a practical example. The following stupid example is supposed to be a microstrip line shunted by two 100...

Q&A Complex frequency of a pole

If we have the transfer function of a LC high pass filter: $H(s) = \frac{sL}{sL+\frac{1}{sC}}$ If we want to find the pole of that filter in the end we get: $s = \frac{j}{\sqrt{LC}}$ and for a ...

Q&A Thévenins Theorem for Transistor Circuit

I am calculating the base current of transistor Q1. To simplify the circuit equations, I applied the Thévenin's theorem twice and converted V1, R1 and R2 into Vth and Rth, as shown in the image. ...

Q&A Thermal stability coefficient [closed]

The thermal stability coefficient is defined to be: $S = \frac{dI_{C}}{dI_{CBO}}$ where $I_{CBO}$ is the reverse current of the BJT when voltage isnt applied to the base of the BJT. In case of a ...
