Electricity and Electronics Syllabus - Classes - Assignments - Laboratory - Resources Class 8: Norton Equivalent Circuit |
Source Substitution - Norton's Theorem
 |
Any two-terminal linear circuit can be replaced with
a current source in parallel with a resistance which will produce the
same effects at the terminals.
IN is the short-circuit current Isc of the circuit that the Norton generator is replacing. Again, RN is the ratio of Voc
to the short-circuit current Isc. |
