Thevenins theorem is a way to reduce a network to an equivalent circuit composed of a single voltage source, series resistance, and series load. In a linear circuit with several sources the voltage and current responses in any branch is the algebraic sum of the voltage and current responses due to each source acting independently with all other sources replaced by their internal impedance. It is enduring in that the things we can say about. It states that the response in a particular branch of a linear circuit when multiple independent sources are acting at the same time is equivalent to the sum of the responses due to each independent source acting at a time. These theorems use fundamental rules or formulas and basic equations of mathematics to analyze basic components of electrical or electronics parameters such as voltages, currents, resistance, and so on. Nortons theorem 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.
