Circuit theorems are fundamental principles and mathematical techniques utilized in the analysis and solution of electrical circuits.
Any linear circuit can be reduced to an equivalent circuit with a single current source and a parallel resistance connected to a load.

– Remove the resistance if any across two given points and short circuit them. – Calculate the current which will flow through the circuit. It is called Norton’s current and is written as Isc.
