Tellegen’s Theorem:

  • According to Tellegen’s theorem, the summation of instantaneous powers for the n number of branches in an electrical network is zero.
  • Let n number of branches in an electrical network have I1, I2, I3, ….. In respective instantaneous currents through them.
  • These branches have instantaneous voltages across them are V1, V2, V3, ….. Vn respectively.
  • According to Tellegen’s theorem, \(\mathop \sum \limits_{k = 1}^n {V_k}.{I_k} = 0\)
  • It is based on the conservation of energy.
