Duality theorem in electrical circuits: Two linear circuits are said to be duals of one another if they are described by the same characterizing equations with dual quantities interchanged.
Duality Theorem
According to Duality theorem, two linear circuits are said to be duals of one another if they are described by the same characterizing equations with dual quantities interchanged.
Network and its duals are same only with respect to the performance, but the elements and connection points of view are not equal.
