SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on applying Thevenin's and Norton's theorems to analyze a network circuit. The user calculated the Norton resistance as 3.958 ohms and the Norton current as 1.768 amps. It is confirmed that both Thevenin and Norton equivalent resistances should yield the same value for a given circuit, emphasizing the importance of consistency in calculations. The user seeks clarification on how to proceed with the analysis after obtaining these values.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Thevenin's Theorem
  • Understanding of Norton's Theorem
  • Basic circuit analysis techniques
  • Familiarity with electrical resistance and current calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits
  • Practice circuit analysis using Thevenin's and Norton's theorems
  • Learn how to calculate equivalent resistance in complex circuits
  • Explore practical applications of Thevenin and Norton theorems in circuit design
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of circuit analysis techniques using Thevenin's and Norton's theorems.

Can anyone help with thevenins and nortons theorem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to do a textbook question on networks,

the question is ,, use thevenins and nortons theorem to determine the current flowing and the voltage across RL in the network diagram,

i have attatched the diagram.


i got the nortons resistance to be 3.958ohm
i got nortons to be 1.768ohm

i don't know how to do the rest.

How did you arrive at these two values? Do you mean the first value to be the Thevenin resistance? Whether you are calculating the Norton or Thevenin equivalent resistance for the same circuit, you should obtain the same value.
