Solution:
i) Calculation of IN:
Short circuit A and B and redraw the circuit as follows, after putting all values:
Note that Norton’s current flows through the 15 ohm resistance and then through
shorted A and B.
Remove the battery leaving its internal resistance in the circuit. Redraw the circuit as
Fig.11(b). Keep A and B as open circuit.
Fig.11(b)
RN = (10+1) || 10 + 15 = 11x10/(11+10) + 15 = 20.24 ohm
12) Apply Norton’s theorem to calculate the current through load resistance RL =
5 ohm in the circuit shown in Fig.12. All resistances are in ohms and battery
internal resistance is zero.

Solution:
i) Calculation of IN:
Disconnect RL=5 ohm from the load terminals and short circuit them. Redraw the
circuit as follows (load terminals named A and B):
Fig.12(a)
Short-circuiting A-B also short circuits the 10 ohm resistance, essentially removing it
from the calculation for IN. Circuit is redrawn as Fig.12(b).
Fig.12(b)
Equivalent circuit, Req = 4 + 4||8 = 4 + 4x8/(4+8) = 6.67 ohm
I = 20/6.67 = 3A
IN = I.4/(4+8) = 3x4/(4+8) = 1A
Keep load terminals A-B open circuit. Remove the battery by replacing it with a short
circuit. Redraw the circuit as Fig.12(c).
Fig.12(c)
RN = (4||4 + 8) || 10 = (2+8) || 10 = 10 || 10 = 5 ohm

Solution:
i) Calculation of IN:
Disconnect R4 and short circuit A and B. After putting all values, redraw the circuit as
follows:
Fig.13(a)
Now note:
o If a resistance is shorted, then all current from a source will flow through the
short circuit; the resistance will be completely bypassed. This is because short
circuit will provide a zero resistance path, i.e. an easiest path for the current to
flow.
o Since A-B is short circuited, 50V battery will drive a current I1 through the 50
ohm resistance and the short circuit (from A to B)
o 100V battery will drive a current I2 through 20 ohm and the short circuit (from
A to B).
I1 = 50/50 = 1A
I2 = 100/20 = 5A
Therefore, IN = 6A
Keep A and B as open circuit and remove both batteries by replacing them with short
circuits. Redraw the circuit as Fig.13(b).
Fig.13(b)
Note that 40 ohm resistance is short circuited while removing the 50V battery.
Fig.14
Solution:
a) Calculation of IN:
Fig.14(a)
120V battery drives I1 through 40 ohm resistance and the short circuit (AB) and
similarly, 180V battery drives current I2 through 60 ohm resistance and the short
circuit (AB).
I1 = 120/40 = 3A
I2 = 180/60 = 3A
Therefore, IN = I1 + I2 = 6A
b) Calculation of RN:
Keep A and B as open circuit and short circuit both the batteries.
i) RL = 12 ohm:
ii) RL = 24 ohm:
iii) RL = 36 ohm:
