Why in thevenin theorem, we take the equivalent resistance in series to the load resistor, while in norton theorem we take the equivalent resistance parallel to the load resistor.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thevenin's Theorem is a fundamental concept in electrical circuit analysis. It states that any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single voltage source in series with a single resistor. This allows for simpler analysis and calculation of circuit behavior.
To find the Thevenin equivalent circuit, you need to follow these steps:
Norton's Theorem is another fundamental concept in electrical circuit analysis. It states that any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single current source in parallel with a single resistor. The main difference from Thevenin's Theorem is that the equivalent circuit is in terms of a current source rather than a voltage source.
To convert from Thevenin to Norton, you can use the following formula:
IN = VTH / RTH
Where IN is the Norton current source, VTH is the Thevenin voltage, and RTH is the Thevenin resistance.
To convert from Norton to Thevenin, you can use the following formula:
VTH = IN * RTH
Where VTH is the Thevenin voltage, IN is the Norton current source, and RTH is the Norton resistance.
Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits are only applicable to linear circuits. They also assume that the circuit is in a steady-state condition and that all components are operating within their linear range. Additionally, they do not take into account the effects of temperature and do not consider the internal resistance of voltage and current sources. These limitations may affect the accuracy of the analysis and calculation of circuit behavior.
