Steps to Analyze an Electric Circuit using Thevenin’s
Theorem
1. Open the load resistor.
2. Calculate / measure the open circuit voltage. This is the Thevenin
Voltage (VTH).
3. Open current sources and short voltage sources.
4. Calculate /measure the Open Circuit Resistance. This is the Thevenin
Resistance (RTH).
5. Now, redraw the circuit with measured open circuit Voltage (VTH) in
Step (2) as voltage source and measured open circuit resistance
(RTH) in step (4) as a series resistance and connect the load resistor
which we had removed in Step (1). This is the equivalent Thevenin
circuit of that linear electric network or complex circuit which had
to be simplified and analyzed by Thevenin’s Theorem. You have
done it.
6. Now find the Total current flowing through the load resistor by using
the Ohm’s Law: IT = VTH / (RTH + RL).
STEP 2.
Calculate / measure the open circuit voltage. This is the Thevenin Voltage (VTH). Fig (3)
STEP 3.
Open current sources and short voltage sources as shown below. Fig (4)
STEP 4.
Calculate / measure the open circuit resistance. This is the Thevenin Resistance
(RTH)
STEP 5.
Connect the RTH in series with Voltage Source VTH and re-connect the
load resistor. This is shown in fig (6) i.e. Thevenin circuit with load
resistor. This the Thevenin’s equivalent circuit.
STEP 6.
Now apply the last step i.e Ohm’s law . Calculate the total load
current and load voltage as shown in fig 6.
Steps to Analyze an Electric Circuit using
Norton’s Theorem
1. Short the load resistor.
2. Calculate / measure the Short Circuit Current. This is the Norton
Current (IN).
3. Open Current Sources, Short Voltage Sources and Open Load Resistor.
4. Calculate /measure the Open Circuit Resistance. This is the Norton
Resistance (RN).
5. Now, Redraw the circuit with measured short circuit Current (IN) in
Step (2) as Current Source and measured open circuit resistance (RN)
in step (4) as a parallel resistance and connect the load resistor which
we had removed in Step (3). This is the Equivalent Norton Circuit of
that Linear Electric Network or Complex circuit which had to be
simplified and analyzed. You have done it.
6. Now find the Load current flowing through and Load Voltage across
Load Resistor by using the Current divider rule. IL = IN / (RN / (RN+
RL)) ((For clear explanation … check the solved example given below).
