Question

Norton’s theorem is true for __________

(a) Linear networks

(b) Non-Linear networks

(c) Both linear networks and nonlinear networks

(d) Neither linear networks nor non-linear networks

I had been asked this question in an interview for job.

My question is taken from Norton’s Theorem in chapter Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Linear networks

To explain: Norton’s theorem works for only linear circuit elements and not non-linear ones such as BJT, semiconductors etc.
