Norton Theorem
Figure 3.2(i)
By using Ohms Law;
V 15
IN = = = (0.6 – j1.2) A
R (5 +j10)
Step 3
Draw the Norton equivalent circuit with the 20 Ω resistor connected to the circuit.
Figure 3.2(j): Norton equivalent circuit
Step 4
Calculate the current flowing through the 20Ω resistor.
By using Current Divider Rule (CDR),
R N (22.5 +j7.5)
iL= x IN = x (0.6 – j1.2) = (0.423 – j0.604) A
R +R L ( (22.5 +j7.5)+(20)
N
The current that flow through the 20 Ω resistor = (0.423 – 0.604) A
