Nortons Theorem, like Thevenin’s Theorem, offers a technique for streamlining complex circuits. It enables us to swap out complicated circuits with much simpler equivalents that just require one resistor and one source of current or voltage. This equivalent circuit is made up of, In basic terms, Norton’s Theorem reduces a complicated network of wires, resistors, […]

Thevenin’s Theorem: Working and Calculations
With the help of Thevenin’s Theorem, we can simplify a complicated circuit with several resistors and sources into a much simpler “equivalent circuit.” The total voltage and total resistance of the original circuit are represented by a single voltage source and resistor, respectively, in this analogous circuit. In the past three tutorials, we have looked […]
Nodal Voltage Analysis and Calculations
An equally potent substitute for mesh current analysis is nodal voltage analysis. Matrix analysis is used in both techniques to provide effective circuit solutions. Nodal Voltage Analysis, as the name implies, uses nodal equations to represent Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) and determines the voltage potentials around the circuit. The fundamental idea is that, for any […]
