If this is an independent current source, it has to be disconnected.

Independent voltage sources are replaced by a short-circuit.

Are there any restrictions for the use of circuit elements in Thevenin's theorem verification?

no thevenins theorem works for every type of element. for a.c. analysis of a circiut consisting of capacitors inductors etc. a different method is followed to find thevenins equivalent but it is valid...


What are the applications of thevenin's theorem?

in simplifying complex circuits and for different loads this theorem proven very useful


Is superposition theorem applicable for diodes?

No, diodes are not linear elements like resistors are. Current can only flow in one direction in diodes.


What is the difference between a thevenins equivalent circuit and a nortons equivalent circuit?

A thevenin's equivalent circuit uses a voltage source and the norton's equivalent circuit uses a current source. Thévenin's theorem for linear electrical networks states that any combination of voltage sources, current sources and resistors with two terminals is electrically equivalent to a single voltage source V and a single series resistor R. For single frequency AC systems the theorem can also be applied to general impedances, not just resistors. The theorem was first discovered by German scientist Hermann von Helmholtz in 1853, but was then rediscovered in 1883 by French telegraph engineer Léon Charles Thévenin (1857-1926). Norton's theorem for electrical networks states that any collection of voltage sources and resistors with two terminals is electrically equivalent to an ideal current source, I, in parallel with a single resistor, R. For single-frequency AC systems the theorem can also be applied to general impedances, not just resistors. The Norton equivalent is used to represent any network of linear sources and impedances, at a given frequency. The circuit consists of an ideal current source in parallel with an ideal impedance (or resistor for non-reactive circuits). Norton's theorem is an extension of Thévenin's theorem and was introduced in 1926 separately by two people: Hause-Siemens researcher Hans Ferdinand Mayer (1895-1980) and Bell Labs engineer Edward Lawry Norton (1898-1983). Mayer was the only one of the two who actually published on this topic, but Norton made known his finding through an internal technical report at Bell Labs.


What is norton's theorem?

Norton's theorem is the current equivalent of Thevenin's theorem.


Can thevenins's theorem be applicable in a network having nonlinear elements?

yesAnswerNo it cannot, any more than Ohm's Law can be applied to circuits with non-linear elements.


Where you use thevenins theorem in daily life?

The number of vehicles per hour entering a busy road junction equals the number leaving it The amount of liquid entering a pipe equals the amount issuing from the end, plus the leaks.


Will the voltage dropped across each resistor be same if two unequal resistors are connected in parallel?

yes ,they can be connected ,then they both will drive the current through that resistance ,the current through that resistance will be the sum of currents due to each individual source taking only one at a time (use superpositon theorem)


Where can Pythagoras Theorem be used?

Pythagoras' theorem can be used for right-angled triangles. Using the theorem, you are able to calculate what the length of one side of a triangle is.

According to Theremins theorem any linear active network can be replaced by a single voltage source?

You are confusing "Thévenin" with "Theremin." Léon Charles Thévenin (1857-1926) developed a theorem for linear electrical networks stating that any combination of voltage sources, current sources and resistors with two terminals is electrically equivalent to a single voltage source and a single series resistor.
