Question

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

(a) Thevenin’s theorem

(b) Superposition theorem

(c) Maximum power transfer theorem

(d) Millman’s theorem

The question was asked in an interview for job.

This question is from Norton’s Theorem in section Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Thevenin’s theorem

To explain: Thevenin’s theorem is also known as the dual of Norton’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.
