While calculating Rth in Thevenin's theorem and Norton equivalent
Correct answer: A. all independent sources are made dead
- A. all independent sources are made dead
- B. only current sources are made dead
- C. only voltage sources are made dead
- D. all voltage and current sources are made dead
Explanation
To find Thevenin or Norton resistance, all independent sources are deactivated: ideal voltage sources become short circuits and ideal current sources become open circuits. Dependent sources, if present, are not automatically deactivated.
