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:
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:
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:
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
