AI Thread Summary
To find the Norton Equivalent circuit with only a dependent current source, it's essential to analyze the circuit carefully, as the dependent source relies on circuit variables. Despite the absence of independent voltage sources, the dependent source can still generate current based on the circuit's behavior. The process involves applying circuit analysis techniques to determine the output current and equivalent resistance. Providing a circuit diagram would clarify the situation and facilitate a more accurate analysis. Understanding the relationship between dependent sources and circuit variables is crucial for finding the Norton Equivalent.

I am currently attempting to find the Norton Equivelant circuit of a given complex circuit. It only provides a dependent source, no other sources are present. How is it possible a current is even present? With no voltage source, and only a dependent source of current, wouldn't it be impossible to find the Norton Equivelant?

Thanks!

Welcome to PF;
Please show circuit diagram.

If you work through the steps to find the Norton equiv. what happens?
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
