THEORY:
Norton's theorem states that any two terminal linear network with current sources, voltage sources and
resistances can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a current source in parallel with a
resistance. The value of the current source is the short circuit current between the two terminals of the
network and the resistance is equal to the equivalent resistance measured between the terminals with all the
energy sources are replaced by their internal resistances
