Norton’s theorem - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Thévenin’s Theorem for DC circuits states that any two port linear network may be replaced by a single voltage source with an appropriate internal resistance. The Thévenin equivalent will produce the same load current and voltage as the original circuit to any load. Consequently, if many different loads or sub-circuits are under consideration, using a Thévenin equivalent usually proves to be a much quicker method of analysis. Any complex circuit consisting of multiple sources and components...

‘Electrical Circuit Theory and Technology, Revised second Edition’ provides coverage for a wide range of courses that contain electrical principles, circuit theory, and technology in their syllabuses, from introductory to degree level. The chapter ‘Transients and Laplace transforms’, which had been removed from the second edition due to page restraints have been included in this edition in response to popular demand. The text is set out in four parts as follows: PART 1, involving...
