Circuit Theory ECT1016 Assignment (05-06)

Please work in pairs of 2 students (do not have to be from the same lecture group). Each
group has to submit a single assignment. The deadline is Monday 12 September (Week
13) at 3pm.

Question 1
For the circuit in Figure 1, construct the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits between
terminals a and b. Verify that the Thevenin resistance found is equivalent to VTh/IN.
