NORTON'S THEOREM (Solved problems)


Solved problems on Norton’s theorem


Q1) Find the Norton’s equivalent circuit across A-B terminals for the circuit shown in figure 14.1



Answer:


First we remove the 10Ω resistor and short circuit the terminals A&B. see figure 14.2



The current flowing through the short circuited terminals is called the Norton’s curren IN.

To find the IN we apply nodal equation for point C

(V – 30)/5 + V/10 + V/3 = 0

V = 180/19

Ohms law to 3Ω resistance

I = V/R

IN = (180/19) / 3

IN = 60/19

This is the Norton’s current.

Now we are about to find the Norton’s resistance. Note that this is equal to the thevenin’s resistance also.
See figure 14.3


RN = (10//5) + 3

RN = 19/3Ω



Q2) Find the Norton’s equivalent circuit across A-B terminals for the circuit shown in figure 14.4






Answer:

First we short circuit the two terminals A&B and calculate the current flowing
See figure 14.5

When we short circuit A-B terminals it results in shorting out 12Ω resistor as shown in figure 14.6

Now we can simply find the current IN by applying Ohms law to 4Ω resistor,

I  = V/R

IN = 24/4

IN = 6A

Then we find the RN . See figure 14.7



RN = 12//4

RN = 3Ω



Q3) Using Norton’s theorem calculates the current flowing through 12Ω resistor. You may refer figure 14.8





Wait for my next post to see the solution. Till then, try this yourself. It is very similar to Q1.

  1. why the Q1 answer norton's current are not divided?..i mean y 180 can't divide in 19?

  4. I am clueless about this statement. First we remove the 10Ω resistance and short circuit the terminals A&B. see figure 14.2. Why isn't 12ohm resistor there?

  8. no current will flow there, current will choose flow where there is no resistance

    1. Okay, this is how it happens, if you connect a resistor parallely with a conductor (say 12ohm resistor and 0 ohm resistor) current never flows through the resistor. it always choose the conductor. that is the meaning of "no current will flow in 12 ohms resistor as it is short circuited".
      this is a rule you must apply on wherever you find a resistor is parallel connected with a conductor (or 0 ohm resistor). Hope you understood.
      if still you have problems, please let me know.

  19. The various sorts of ferrite materials are available yet ordinary kind of ferrites are nickel-zinc ferrite and manganese-zinc ferrite. Manganese Zinc is having maximal change thickness and its viable repeat broaden is under 5MHz yet banished ordinary mode inductors that impedance is awesome decision up to 70MHz. the Nickel zinc ferrite having unimportant movement thickness in the midst of manganese-zinc is higher.coil winding machine

  20. Copper or aluminum wire utilized as the major current passing on transmitter in a transformer winding. Aluminum wire is irrelevant effort and lighter than the copper wire, which has a more prominent cross sectional region of transmitter used to pass on the liberal measure of current, so it is in a general sense utilized as a bit of expansive power transformer applications.automatic toroidal winding machine
