Thevenin’s Resistance Are Independent Sources Present Circuits with no Independent Sources Have NO Thevenin’s or Norton’s Equivalent Source No Are Dependent Sources Present Solve for Equivalent Resistance by circuit reduction Your Thevenin’s and Norton’s Equivalent Circuits will be IDENTICAL With only one resistor between the terminals No Choose between (VOC & ISC) and the Test Source Methods Yes Zero all Independent Sources Current > Open Voltage > Short DO NOT Touch the Dependent Sources Test Source Using Circuit Analysis Techniques, find the Open Circuit Voltage VOC = VTH between the + and the – terminals VOC & ISC Using Circuit Analysis Techniques, find the Short Circuit Current ISC = IN from the + to the - terminals RTH = VOC/ISC = VTH/IN Apply a test source between the terminals with the test current flowing out of the positive test source terminal Establish only one VT or IT and solve for the other Yes RTH = VT/IT
