FAQs

Question: What is Thevenin's Theorem?
Answer: Thevenin's Theorem states that any linear circuit can be simplified to a single voltage source and a series resistance.

Question: How do Thevenin and Norton Theorems relate to each other?
Answer: Thevenin and Norton Theorems are duals; Thevenin's equivalent circuit can be converted to Norton’s equivalent circuit and vice versa.
