Any Circuit IAB A + VAB - Circuit A (Linear) Circuit B B Thevenin and Norton Equivalent Circuits Read: pages 120 – 133 Problems: 4.53 and 4.68 (Due 10/29/01) Consider any circuit divided into separate circuits, where the two parts are connected at two points A and B as shown. ENGR-201 Thevenin's Theorem
IAB RTH IAB A A + - + VAB - + VAB - Circuit A (Linear) VTH Circuit B Circuit B B B Thevenin’s Theorem Everything inside the linear circuit (A) can be replaced by an equivalent circuit that consists of two components, an ideal voltage source in series with a resistor. Two circuits are equivalent if they produce the same load voltage and current (VAB and IAB) for every possible load condition. ENGR-201 Thevenin's Theorem
IAB IAB A A + VAB - + VAB - Circuit A (Linear) IN Circuit B Circuit B RN B B Norton’s Theorem Everything inside the linear circuit (A) can be replaced by an equivalent circuit that consists of two components, an ideal current source in parallel with a resistor. The trick is to find the values of VTH and RTH (IN and RN). ENGR-201 Thevenin's Theorem

Consider one extreme load condition: open circuit where IAB = 0 A. If the two circuits are equivalent, then VTH = Voc. ENGR-201 Thevenin's Theorem
