33.2) Using Norton’s theorem, calculate the current in the 6Ω resistor in the network of as shown in
Figure. All resistance are in ohms.
Solution:
Short Circuit Current (ISC):
(a) (b)
When the branch containing 6Ω resistance is short-circuited, the given circuit is reduced to that shown in
Fig.(a) and finally to Fig. (b). As seen, the 12A current divides into two unequal parts at point A. The current
passing through 4 Ω resistor forms the short-circuit current ISC.
Norton’s Resistance (RN):
(c)
Resistance RN between points C and D when they are open-circuited. It is so because the constant-current
source has infinite resistance i.e., it behaves like an open circuit as shown in Fig.(c).
RN=(8+4)‖(10+2)=6Ω

31. Page31of35(AZ)
Norton’s Equivalent Circuit:
(d)
Hence, Norton’s equivalent circuit is as shown in Fig.(d). As seen current of 8A is divided equally between the
two equal resistances of 6Ω each. Hence, current through the required 6 Ω resistor is 4A.
Answer: Current through the required 6 Ω resistor is 4A.
