Students often find Thevenin’s Theorem easier than Norton’s Theorem, but the truth is, they are two sides of the same coin.

In this technical lesson, Wasim Asghar, P.E,. explains the similarities between Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits, and shows how you can solve Norton problems using Thevenin by taking one extra step: source transformation.

This topic is extremely important for:
• FE Electrical and Computer Exam candidates
• PE Power Exam candidates
• Anyone struggling with circuit reduction and terminal equivalents

In this video, you will learn:

• What Thevenin’s Theorem actually means (terminal equivalent concept)
• How complex circuits reduce to a simple source + resistance
• Why Thevenin is more intuitive for most students
• The steps to find Vth and Rth correctly
• How Norton is simply a transformed version of Thevenin
• How to calculate IN = Vth / Rth
• Why Norton current uses short circuit reasoning (and why students dislike it)

Quick Answers

What is the difference between the Thevenin and Norton theorems?
Thevenin represents a circuit as an equivalent voltage source in series with a resistance. Norton represents the same circuit as an equivalent current source in parallel with the same resistance.

How do you convert Thevenin to Norton?
Convert the Thevenin voltage source to a current source using IN = Vth / Rth, and place Rth in parallel.

Which is easier: Thevenin or Norton?
Most students find Thevenin easier because it uses open-circuit-voltage intuition, whereas Norton uses short-circuit-current intuition.
