//Problem 13.14: Use Norton’s theorem to determine the current flowing in the 3 ohm resistance of the network shown in Figure 13.36(a). The voltage source has negligible internal resistance. //initializing the variables: V = 24; // in volts R1 = 20; // in ohms R2 = 5; // in ohms R3 = 10; // in ohms R4 = 5/3; // in ohms R5 = 3; // in ohms //calculation: //The 3ohm resistance branch is short-circuited as shown in Figure 13.36(b). //Figure 13.36(c) is equivalent to Figure 13.36(b). Isc = V/R2 //the resistance ‘looking-in’ at a break made between A and B is given by r = R3*R2/(R3 + R2) //From the Norton equivalent network shown in Figure 13.36(f) the current in the 3ohm resistance is given by: I = (r/(r + R4 + R5))*Isc printf("\n\n Result \n\n") printf("\n the current in the 3ohm resistance is given by %.0f A",I)
