Millman's Theorem
Millman's Theorem
In electrical engineering, Millman's theorem is a method to simplify the solution of a circuit. Specifically, Millman's theorem is used to compute the voltage at the ends of a circuit made up of only branches in parallel.It is named after Jacob Millman, who proved the theorem.-Explanation:Let ek...
