- Two electrical networks are said to be dual networks if the mesh equations of one network are equal to the node equation of others.
- Identical behavior patterns observed between voltages and currents in two circuits illustrate the principle of duality.
- The dual networks are based on Kirchhoff Current Law and Kirchhoff Voltage Law.
