  "id": "MLC-T-IND-003930",
  "term": "Norton's theorem",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A circuit analysis theorem stating that any linear electrical network containing independent and dependent voltage and current sources and resistors can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single current source in parallel with a single resistor. This equivalent circuit is known as a Norton equivalent circuit. The equivalent current source is the short-circuit current at the terminals, and the equivalent resistance is the Thevenin resistance.",
