Question) determine VL / I1

(a) V1 = I1R1
(b) Ig = gV1 = gI1R1
(c) VL = -IgRL = -gI1R1RL

Thus, VL / I1 = -gR1RL

 Input impedances

Circuit 1. Connect a voltage source (Vtest)

across its input

2. Measure the current through the

voltage source (Imeas)

3. Then,

input impedance =

Input impedance Zin

 Input/output impedances

1. Kill all independent sources

(i.e., “short” indep. voltage sources and “open” indep. current sources)
2. Connect voltage or current source (Vtest or Itest)
3. Compute the current or voltage (Imeas or Vmeas) across the voltage or current source
4. Then,

Both methods will work but generally one requires less work than the other.

 Thevenin /Norton equivalents

The Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits can be used to

represent the behavior of any linear circuit.

1. The “Thevenin voltage”, Vth, is an open-circuit voltage at output terminal of a

certain circuit.
2. The “Norton current”, In, is a short-circuit current at output terminal of a certain
circuit.
3. The “Thevenin impedance”, Zth, is an impedance shown in the output two
terminals. -> open-circuit voltage / short-circuit current.
