Rth is calculated by deactivating all independent sources (short voltage sources, open current sources) and finding equivalent resistance seen from load terminals.
Superposition theorem applies to linear networks with multiple independent sources. The response is the sum of individual source responses.
In nodal analysis, we need (n-1) independent equations where n is total number of nodes. One node is chosen as reference (ground) node.
Using Ohm's law: I = V/R = 25/5 = 5A
Req = (R₁ × R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = (6 × 12)/(6 + 12) = 72/18 = 4Ω
Power P = V²/R = (50)²/100 = 2500/100 = 25W
Energy stored E = ½CV² = ½ × 50×10⁻⁶ × (200)² = ½ × 50×10⁻⁶ × 40000 = 1J
In star connection, Vph = VL/√3 = 440/1.732 ≈ 254V
Norton equivalent current is equal to the short-circuit current measured between the terminals, which is 5A.
When considering only V₁ (V₂ is short-circuited), I₁ = V₁/R = 10/10 = 1A
