Ammeter (0-25mA ) 2 Nos
THEORY:
Compensation Theorem:
Compensation theorem states that any element in the linear ,bilateral network can be replaced
by a voltage source of magnitude equal to the current passing through the element multiplied
by the value of current , provided the currents and voltages of the other parts of the circuit
remain unaltered. This theorem is useful in finding the changes in current or voltage when the
value of resistance is changed in the circuit. If the resistance of any branch of a network is
changed from R to (R+▲R) where the current flowing in that branch originally is I, the
change of current in the other branches can be calculated by placing a voltage source of the
value I(▲R) in the modified branch with all the other sources made ineffective. This theorem
is particularly useful in analyzing the networks where the values of the branch elements are
varied and for studying the effect of tolerance on such values.
