Sheet 4
1 − Find the Thévenin and Norton resistance for the circuit shown in Figure (1) by zeroing the sources. Then,
find the short−circuit current and the Thévenin equivalent circuit.

Figure (1)
2 − Find the Thévenin and Norton equivalent for the circuit shown in Figure (2).

Figure (2)

3 − Find the Thévenin and Norton equivalent circuits for the circuit shown in Figure (3). Take care that you orient
the polarity of the voltage source and the direction of the current source correctly relative to terminals ‘a’ and ‘b’.
What effect does the 7-Ω resistor have on the equivalent circuits? Explain your answer

Figure (3)
4 − For the circuit shown in figure (4), use the source
transformation method to calculate vR4.
For the circuit, R1 = 30 Ω, R2 = 95 Ω, R3 = 25 Ω, R4 =
40 Ω, VS = 30 V, and IS = 0.05 A
