Describe the procedure to be followed when using each of the theorems below, Norton's theorem, Thevenin theorem?
Norton's Theorem: 1. Remove all sources from the circuit and determine the open-circuit voltage across the terminals where the load will be connected. 2. Calculate the short-circuit current that would flow between the terminals. 3. Represent the circuit with a current source (Norton current) in parallel with a resistor (Norton resistance) equal to the load resistance. 4. Connect the load to the terminals and calculate the current flowing through it using Ohm's Law.
Thevenin's Theorem: 1. Remove the load from the circuit and determine the open-circuit voltage across the terminals where the load will be connected. 2. Calculate the short-circuit current that would flow between the terminals. 3. Represent the circuit with a voltage source (Thevenin voltage) in series with a resistor (Thevenin resistance) equal to the load resistance. 4. Connect the load to the terminals and calculate the current flowing through it using Ohm's Law.
