What is the Norton equivalent current in?

What is the Norton equivalent current in?

Any collection of batteries and resistances with two terminals is electrically equivalent to an ideal current source i in parallel with a single resistor r. The value of r is the same as that in the Thevenin equivalent and the current i can be found by dividing the open circuit voltage by r.

How do I use Norton equivalent?

What are the applications of Norton’s theorem?

Applications of Norton’s Theorem

• It is used to reduce a complex circuit into a simple circuit.
• Norton’s theorem is useful to solve problems on parallel generators with unequal emf’s and unequal impedances.
• Norton’s theorem can be interchangeably used with thevenin’s theorem through proper source transformations.

What is a Thevenin’s theorem?

Thevenin’s Theorem. Thevenin’s theorem is a procedure by which we change a complex network in to simple network called thevenin’s equivalent circuit. Thevenin’s equivalent circuit of an open circuit voltage, thevenin voltage, V th and the total resistance from the open terminals side, thevenin’s equivalent resistance, R th.
