Source transformation is simplifying a circuit solution, especially with mixed sources, by transforming a voltage into a current source, and vice versa.〔Oppenheimer, Samuel L. (1984). ''Fundamentals of Electric Circuits''. New Jersey: Prentice Hall.〕 Finding a solution to a circuit can be difficult without using methods such as this to make the circuit appear simpler. Source transformation is an application of Thévenin's theorem and Norton's theorem. == Process == Performing a source transformation consists of using Ohm's law to take an existing voltage source in series with a resistance, and replace it with a current source in parallel with the same resistance. Remember that Ohm's law states that a voltage on a material is equal to the material's resistance times the amount of current through it (V=IR). Since source transformations are bilateral, one can be derived from the other. 〔Nilsson, James W., & Riedel, Susan A. (2002). ''Introductory Circuits for Electrical and Computer Engineering''. New Jersey: Prentice Hall.〕 Source transformations are not limited to resistive circuits however. They can be performed on a circuit involving capacitors and inductors, as long as the circuit is first put into the frequency domain. In general, the concept of source transformation is an application of Thévenin's theorem to a current source, or Norton's theorem to a voltage source. Specifically, source transformations are used to exploit the equivalence of a real current source and a real voltage source, such as a battery. Application of Thévenin's theorem and Norton's theorem gives the quantities associated with the equivalence. Specifically, suppose we have a real current source I, which is an ideal current source in parallel with an impedance. If the ideal current source is rated at I amperes, and the parallel resistor has an impedance Z, then applying a source transformation gives an equivalent real voltage source, which is ideal, and in series with the impedance. This new voltage source V, has a value equal to the ideal current source's value times the resistance contained in the real current source . The impedance component of the real voltage source retains its real current source value. In general, source transformations can be summarized by keeping two things in mind: * Ohm's Law * Impedances remain the same 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Source transformation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
