Easy Circuit Analysis Network Theorems
Explain Norton's theorem and its relationship to Thevenin's theorem.
Answer
Norton's theorem states that any linear circuit can be replaced by an equivalent current source (In) in parallel with a resistance (Rn). It is the dual of Thevenin's theorem - Norton current equals Thevenin voltage divided by Thevenin resistance (In = Vth/Rth), and Norton resistance equals Thevenin resistance. Source transformation allows conversion between the two equivalent circuits.
