Norton TheoremHardQuestion 31638

Question

Norton's theorem is the dual of Thevenin's: it replaces a linear two-terminal network with:
  1. A
    V_th in series with R_th
  2. B
    A current source I_N in parallel with R_N
    Correct
  3. C
    Only a resistance
  4. D
    Series RLC

Correct answer

A current source I_N in parallel with R_N

Explanation

Norton equivalent: I_N = short-circuit current, R_N = R_th (same as Thevenin resistance). V_th = I_N × R_N.
