Thevenin, Norton and Maximum
Power Transfer Theorems

Why Thevenin’s Theorem is useful

Everything in the original circuit, except the
load, may be replaced by an equivalent circuit.
The equivalent circuit consists of a series
combination of a voltage source and a
resistance.
Write these on white board
VTH = 10V
RTH = 5kΩ
Now you can place any load in the circuit you
want and the calculations are EASY!
.66mA
=10kΩ
Determine VTH
Solving for VTH
10V
5V
VTH = VA – VB = 5V
Determine RTH
What is the resistance from point a to b?
Be careful, since 20V
is upside down VA is
across R1


Everything in the original circuit, except the
load may be replaced by an equivalent circuit.
The equivalent circuit consists of a parallel
combination of a current source and a
resistance.

Resistance

There are a bunch of rules for how to calculate the
Norton Current and Norton Resistance. However,
a shortcut is to find the Thevenin Equivalent
circuit and then convert it to a Norton
2mA

Besides using traditional circuit analysis using
Ohm’s Law, or Superposition, Mesh Analysis,
Thevenin’s Theorem, and Norton’s Theorem,
there are other circuit analysis techniques. A
couple include:

Nodal Analysis and Millman’s Theorem


In the following circuit solve for
VTH, RTH, IN, RN, IL and VL
Solve for VL using traditional Ohm’s Law
technique, Mesh Analysis, and Thevenin Analysis

What circuit analysis technique can we use to solve for this?
Thevenin’s Theorem.
RTH = 5kΩ
I’ve checked this technique using Ohm’s law and it works. See following numbers:
5mW @ 5kOhm
4.94mW @ 4kOhm
4.96mW @ 6kOhm
