2. L01 May 302 Thevenin Equivalent Any two terminals of a circuit can be replaced by –the open circuit source voltage, V TH, in series with –the resistance, R TH, (impedance) obtained when all independent sources are set to zero. Voltage sources --> short circuit Current sources --> open circuit

3. L01 May 303 Norton Equivalent Any two terminals of a circuit can be replaced by –the short circuit source current, I N, in parallel with –the resistance, R N, (impedance) obtained when all independent sources are set to zero. Voltage sources --> short circuit Current sources --> open circuit

4. L01 May 304 Relationships and General Approach By definition, R TH = R N. V TH = I N R N, and I N = V TH /R TH If dependent sources are present, they cannot be set to zero, so –determine V TH or I N as before –apply a test potential or current to the terminals and solve for v test /i resp = R TH or v resp /i test = R TH
