Electricity: Norton and Thevenin Theorem applications

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on applying Thevenin and Norton models to a circuit with given output voltages (V1 = 200V, V2 = 150V, V3 = 100V) and corresponding currents (I1 = 0A, I2 = 12A, I3 = 22A). The key takeaway is that one can derive Thevenin and Norton equivalents without knowing the initial circuit details by using the provided voltage and current data. The resistance can be inferred from the voltage drop across the load current, allowing for the construction of V-I diagrams and simplified circuit models.

i've got a problem about the thevenin and Nortn models applications.
i've been given a table giving 3 outpout voltages(v1= 200v,v2= 150V,v3 = 100v) from the voltage sources with their corresponding current(I1= 0A,I2= 12A,I3=22A).
The question was to draw a V-I diagram and draw the corresponding Thevenin and Norton models, so how do i have to proceed without knowing the initial circuit so that i can see which resistances am going to short/open .

This is how i did:
as we see from that table ther resistance changes, think that it changes with some restinces that have been shorted but i can't figure it out clearly. So please help me!

The point of these simplified circuit models is that you don't need to know the details of a passive network, you can just substitute the Thevenin or Norton circuit. Then your table will define the two elements, the resistance (which causes the voltage to decrease with increasing load current) and the source value, voltage or current depending on which version. The source value is found most easily with the no load current datum.
