Norton to Thevenin Converter

The calculation below helps transform a practical current source into a practical voltage source.
Enter the Norton Current (In) = amperes
Enter the Norton Resistance (Rn) = ohms

The Thevenin Voltage (Vth) is = volts
The Thevenin Resistance (Rth) is = ohms

Question: What technique is applied to convert a Thevenin equivalent circuit into a Norton equivalent circuit or vice versa?


Answer:

Source transformation is applied. A voltage source in series with an internal resistance is equivalent to a current source in parallel with the same internal resistance.

V thevenin = (I norton) x (R internal)
I norton = (V thevenin) / (R internal)
R internal = (V thevenin) / (I norton)
