Reciprocity
Theorem can be stated in the following manner: In any bilateral network, if a
source of e.m.f. E in any branch produces a current (I) in any other branch,
then the same e.m.f. E acting in the second branch would produce the same
current (I) in the first branch.

it simply means that E and I are mutually transferable. The ratio E/I is known
as the transfer resistance (or impedance in a.c. systems). Another way of
stating the above is that the receiving point and the sending point in a
network are interchangeable. It also means that interchange of an ideal voltage
source and an ideal ammeter in any network will not change the ammeter reading;
same is the case with the interchange of an ideal current source and an ideal
voltmeter.
