Compensation Theorem Quiz

Verify your ability to compute current changes due to resistance variations using the compensation theorem.

Question 1 of 3

Q1.A resistor R in a network carries current I0. Its value changes by delta_R. According to the compensation theorem, the change in current delta_I in that branch is given by which expression? (Let Z_eq be the equivalent impedance seen from the branch after replacing all independent sources with their internal impedances.)
