    Superposition and Thevenin theorem

    In exercise i) I had to use the superposition to find the current through R2:removing the voltage source and sticking with the current source,this was my node equation: Eq: v1/1000 + v1/1000 + 0.001=0 Solving for I2 the equation was: V1-0/R2=I2 where I2=-5x10E-4 Removing the current...

    Thevenin equivalent of a network

    Sorry for such a basic question, but I'm having trouble grasping the idea of why the Thevenin equivalent of a network (as seen from two terminals) almost always has a Norton equivalent in the form in which it has been defined. More specifically, I've been trying to work out from staring at the...
