Load resistance (RL)
Find the power
dissipated by RL for
Norton & Thvenin with Dependent
Sources
To find RTH, zero all INDEPENDENT
sources
What about dependent sources?
Leave them in the circuit
To find RTH, place a current source (from b to
a) across the load terminals and find VS/IS.
This strategy also w
