Norton problem

Question

Answer 1

(2)

Step 1:

Find the Norton's short circuit current.

1. Short the load resistor

2. Calculate the Short Circuit Current. This is the Norton Current .

Redraw the circuit :

Short the terminals A and B to determine the Norton current _.

Step 2:

Use the source transformation to convert the current source to equivalent voltage source.

Voltage .

 

.

Redraw the circuit :

The and in series.

 

So the total resistance of the circuit is .

 

.

 

Norton current .

 

.

 

Therefore, Norton current is .

 

Solution:

 

Norton current is .
