    When a circuit is represented by equivalent Thevenin’s circuit and Norton’s circuit
    Question

    When a circuit is represented by equivalent Thevenin’s circuit and Norton’s circuit

    A.

    Norton resistance < Thevenin resistance

    B.

    Norton resistance = Thevenin resistance

    C.

    Norton resistance > Thevenin resistance

    D.

    Correct option is B


     Thevenin's Theorem states that any linear, bilateral network of voltage sources and resistances can be replaced by a single voltage source Vth (Thevenin voltage) in series with a single resistance Rth (Thevenin resistance).
     Norton's Theorem states that the same network can also be replaced by a single current source IN (Norton current) in parallel with a single resistance RN (Norton resistance).
    The relationship between the Thevenin and Norton equivalents is:
     Thevenin resistance Rth is equal to Norton resistance RN.
     Thevenin voltage Vth is related to Norton current IN by Vth =IN RN.
    Since both resistances are derived from the same original network and represent the same aspect of the circuit's impedance, they are equal:
    Rth=RN
    Therefore, the correct answer is (b) Norton resistance = Thevenin resistance
