Norton Equivalent Circuits | Basic Circuits

While not as popular as Thevenin circuits for whatever reason, Norton Equivalent Circuits are a staple in beginning circuits courses. As part of this Circuits 1 series, we discuss the concept behind Norton Equivalent Circuits, the steps to find the equivalent circuits, and then go through a few examples. Norton Equivalent circuit examples - does life get any better than this? Don't answer that...
