Question

Which of the following is also known as the dual of Thevenin’s theorem?

(a) Norton’s theorem

(b) Superposition theorem

(c) Maximum power transfer theorem

(d) Millman’s theorem

I had been asked this question during a job interview.

My enquiry is from Thevenin’s Theorem in chapter Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Norton’s theorem

Easy explanation: Norton’s theorem is also known as the dual of Thevenin’s theorem because in Norton’s theorem we find short circuit current which is the dual of open circuit voltage-what we find in Thevenin’s theorem.
