After reading this Norton’s theorem topic of electric or network circuits, you will understand the theory, and also able to apply it in ac and dc circuits numerical problems.
Norton’s theorem states that for two terminal network NA containing linear & bidirectional elements and independent sources is equivalent to a simple network containing an independent current source IN (called as Norton current) in parallel with the resistance RN (called as Norton resistance). The Norton equivalent circuit for network NA shown below in Figure 1.
