Norton's Theorem

Definition

Any linear two-terminal network with sources can be equivalently represented as a current source in parallel with a resistance.

Equivalent Circuit

  • Equivalent current: Short-circuit current Isc
  • Equivalent resistance: Equivalent resistance R0 seen from the terminals
  • Relationship with Thevenin Equivalent

    Isc = Uoc / R0
