Norton Theorem

Norton's theorem states that any linear circuit can be simplified to an equivalent circuit consisting of a single current source and parallel resistance that is connected to a load.

Calculation

The Norton current is the short circuit current across the load terminal AB.

The short circuit path will make a 15Ω short circuit. So, 5Ω and 5Ω become in parallel.

I= 5 A
