What is Norton Current?

The Norton Current is the equivalent current source in a Norton equivalent circuit, which is used to simplify complex circuits. It is calculated by dividing the Thevenin voltage by the Thevenin resistance.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ I_n = \frac{12}{4} = 3 \text{ amps} \]

The Norton Current is 3 amps.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ I_n = \frac{24}{8} = 3 \text{ amps} \]

The Norton Current is 3 amps.
