Norton’s Theorem

It states that “Any two terminal linear network with current sources, voltage sources and resistances can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a current source in parallel with a resistance”.
The value of the current source is the short circuit current between the two terminals of the network and the resistance of the equivalent resistance measured between the terminals of the network with all the voltage sources replaced by their internal resistances and current sources by open circuit.
