Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Each classic network theorem highlights a structural property of circuits. Correctly pairing them helps in quickly selecting which theorem applies in analysis or design.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Linear, time-invariant circuit assumptions for superposition and reciprocity.
  • Tellegen’s theorem is topology-based and universally valid.
  • Maximum power transfer refers to source/load impedance relation.


Concept / Approach:

Map the theorem to the property it fundamentally uses: reciprocity ↔ bilateral networks, Tellegen ↔ power balance identity, superposition ↔ linearity, and maximum power transfer ↔ impedance matching.



Step-by-Step Solution:

Reciprocity → bilateral behavior ⇒ A-2.Tellegen’s → Σ v_k i_k = 0 style identity ⇒ B-3.Superposition → linearity requirement ⇒ C-4.Max power transfer → impedance matching between source and load ⇒ D-1.


Verification / Alternative check:

Text derivations show reciprocity matrices symmetric only for bilateral linear networks; Tellegen’s holds for any lumped network; superposition fails for nonlinear elements; maximum power occurs when load equals Thevenin impedance (or its conjugate in AC).



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Pairing superposition with “non-linear” contradicts its premise.
  • Associating reciprocity with matching confuses a property with a design criterion.


Common Pitfalls:

Thinking Tellegen’s requires linearity; it does not—it is topology-based and widely valid.



Final Answer:

A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1
