Network Elements and the Concept of Circuit

  1. The Norton equivalent across BB′ is given by—



    1. RN =
      50
      Ω, Isc =
      2
      amp
      265

    2. RN =
      50
      Ω, Isc =
      1
      amp
      135

    3. RN =
      50
      Ω, Isc =
      2
      amp
      135
    4. None of the above
Correct Option: B

Calculation for RN (i.e. Rth):
The equivalent circuit is given by

RN = (20 || 10 + 10) || 5

=20+ 10|| 5 = 50 3 || 5
3

=
250 / 3
=
250
=
50

(50 / 3) + 56513

Calculation for Isc
The equivalent circuit drawn in order to calculate I sc first calculate I.
I =
V
Req

where R veq = the equivalent resistance as seen from the terminal AA′

or R eq = 20 + 10 || 10 = 20 + 5 = 25 Ω
I =
10
=
2
amp. (Given, V = 10 Volt)
255

=
2

=
1
amp.
