Answer: B

Norton’s resistance is equal to the parallel combination of both the 5Ω and 10Ω resistors is

R = (5×10)/15 = 3.33Ω.

 

13. Find the current through a 6Ω resistor in the circuit shown below.

Find the current flowing between terminals A and B of the circuit shown below.

A. 1
B. 1.43
C. 2
D. 2.43

Answer: B

The current passing through the 6Ω resistor and the voltage across it due to Norton’s equivalent circuit is

I = 4×3.33/(6 + 3.33) = 1.43A.

 

14. Find the voltage drop across the 6Ω resistor in the circuit shown below.

Find the current flowing between terminals A and B of the circuit shown below.

A. 6.58
B. 7.58
C. 8.58
D. 9.58

Answer: C

The voltage across the 6Ω resistor is

V = 1.43×6 = 8.58V.

So the current and voltage have the same values both in the original circuit and Norton’s equivalent circuit.

 

15. Find the current flowing between terminals A and B in the following circuit.

Find the current flowing between terminals A and B in the following circuit.

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Answer: D

Short-circuiting terminals A and B,

20 − 10(I1) = 0

I1 = 2A. 10 − 5(I2)

I2 = 2A.

Current flowing through terminals A and B = 2 + 2 = 4A.
