Objective of LectureState Thévenin’s and Norton Theorems.
Chapter 4.5 and 4.6 Fundamentals of Electric Circuits
Demonstrate how Thévenin’s and Norton theorems can be used to simplify a circuit to one that contains three components: a power source, equivalent resistor, and load.

Thévenin’s TheoremA linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced
with an equivalent circuit of an ideal voltage source, VTh, in series with a resistor, RTh.VTh is equal to the open-circuit voltage at the
terminals.RTh is the equivalent or input resistance when
the independent sources in the linear circuit are turned off.

Definitions for Thévenin’s Theorem
Linear circuit is a circuit where the voltage is directly proportional to the current (i.e., Ohm’s Law is followed).
Two terminals are the 2 nodes/2 wires that can make a connection between the circuit to the load.

Definitions for Thévenin’s Theorem
Open-circuit voltage Voc is the voltage, V, when the load is an open circuit (i.e., RL = ∞).

Definitions for Thévenin’s TheoremInput resistance is the resistance seen by
the load when VTh = 0V.
It is also the resistance of the linear circuit when the load is a short circuit (RL = 0).

Steps to Determine VTh and RTh1. Identify the load, which may be a resistor or a
part of the circuit.2. Replace the load with an open circuit .3. Calculate VOC. This is VTh.4. Turn off all independent voltage and currents
sources in the linear 2-terminal circuit.5. Calculate the equivalent resistance of the
circuit. This is RTh. The current through and voltage across the load
in series with VTh and RTh is the load’s actual current and voltage in the original circuit.

Norton’s TheoremA linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced
with an equivalent circuit of an ideal current source, IN, in parallel with a resistor, RN.IN is equal to the short-circuit current at the
terminals.RN is the equivalent or input resistance when
the independent sources in the linear circuit are turned off.

Steps to Determine IN and RN1. Identify the load, which may be a resistor or a
part of the circuit.2. Replace the load with a short circuit .3. Calculate ISC. This is IN.4. Turn off all independent voltage and currents
sources in the linear 2-terminal circuit.5. Calculate the equivalent resistance of the
circuit. This is RN. The current through and voltage across the load
in parallel with IN and RN is the load’s actual current and voltage in the original circuit.

Source ConversionA Thévenin equivalent circuit can easily be
transformed to a Norton equivalent circuit (or visa versa).If RTh = RN, then VTh = RNIN and IN = VTh/RTh

Why chose RTh = RN?Suppose VTh = 0V and IN = 0mA
Replace the voltage source with a short circuit.Replace the current source with an open
circuit.
Looking towards the source, both circuits have the identical resistance (1k).
