    Thevenin's theorem states that any linear circuit containing sources and resistors can be represented by an equivalent circuit with one voltage source (VTH) and one resistor (RTH). To find the Thevenin equivalent circuit: 1. Disconnect the load and find the open circuit voltage (VOC). 2. Replace the sources with short circuits and find the equivalent resistance (RTH). 3. The Thevenin equivalent circuit has a voltage source of VOC and resistor of RTH. Similarly, Norton's theorem represents a circuit by one current source (ITH) and one resistor (RN). To find the Norton equivalent: 1. Disconnect the load and find

    Lecture 20

    • Any circuit with sources (dependent and/or


    independent) and resistors can be replaced
    by an equivalent circuit containing a single
    voltage source and a single resistor.
    • Thevenin’s theorem implies that we can
    replace arbitrarily complicated networks with
    simple networks for purposes of analysis.

    Thevenin equivalent circuit


    • Given any linear circuit , rearrange it in forms
    of two networks A & B (A is the network to
    be simplified)
    • Disconnect network B. (Define a voltage voc
    appearing across the terminals of network A )
    • Turn off every independent source in
    network A to form an inactive network.
    (leave dependent sources unchanged )
    • Connect an independent voltage source with
    value voc in series with the inactive
    network(do not complete the circuit ;leave
    the two terminals disconnected)
    • Connect network B to the terminals of the
    new network A
    Draw the thevenin equivalent of the following circuit:
    STEP 1: R1 R3
    Divide the circuit into
    two networks: vS R2
    • network A RL

    • network B

    STEP 2:

    STEP 3:
    Kill the source to find RTH
    (in case of voltage source it RTH
    is shorted out)
    Where;

    • A current source in parallel with a resistor is called a
    Norton equivalent circuit.
    • Finding a Norton equivalent circuit requires
    essentially the similar process as finding a Thevenin
    equivalent circuit.
