From nodal equation.

(v-75)/68+v/68+v/120 = 0.
By solving this we get v = 29.22.

Now by ohm's law to 120 ohm resistor.
IN = v/r = 29.22/120 = 0.244A.

or 1A = 1000mA.
SO, 0.244*1000 = 244mA.

It's simple. Just short AB & apply kvl.

What is value of RL?

Karan saini said:   1 decade ago
Apply Thevenin Theorem-
finding Vth by nodal method
V-75/68+V/68=0
V=37.5
ten find Rth
Rth=(R1//R2)+R3
Rth=154ohm
In=37.5/154
In=244mA
Answer B is right
245mA is nearly 244mA

Rt = R1+ (R2*R3/R2+R3) = 68+ (68*120/68+120) =111.4 ohm.

It = Vs/Rt = 75/111.4 = 673 mA.

In = (R2/R2+R3) It = (68/68+120) 673 = 243.42 mA.

So answer B is absolutely right.

Rt=total resistance, It= total current, In = Norton's current).

Guys from the nortons theorem that I know, In is supposed to be the current through the short circuit at AB.

That implies that is obtained from current through the 120ohm resistance which by current divider rule is.

(68/ (120+68) ) of the net current supllied by 75 voltage source.

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

In=Vn/Rn.

Vn=(Vs*R2)/(R1+R2)

Vn=37.5v

Rn=R3+(R1//R2)

Rn=150 ohm

In=37.5/150

In=0.25A =250 mA (approx. equal to option B)

By nortan,s Theorem

Solve the problem. I want explanation?

Tell me that how to calculate the In ?
