Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 3): (2.5 A)
Concept:
Norton’s Theorem states that “Any linear circuit containing several energy sources and resistances can be replaced by a single constant current source in parallel with a single resistor “.
Steps to follow for Norton’s Theorem:
- Calculate Norton’s current source by removing the load resistor from the original circuit and replacing it with a short circuit. Calculating the current through a shorted wire.
- Calculating the Norton resistance by removing all power sources in the original circuit (voltage sources shorted and current sources open).
- Calculating total resistance between the open connection points.
- Draw the Norton equivalent circuit, with the Norton current source in parallel with the Norton resistance.
- The load resistor re-attaches between the two open points of the equivalent circuit.
Calculation:
Given
Remove the load resistor
R = 4 Ω
V = 10 V
IN = \(10 \over 4\)
= 2.5 A
