LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thevenin - Replacing a complex network with a single ideal constant voltage source with an internal resistance in series.
Norton - Replacing a complex network with a single ideal constant current source with an internal resistance in parallel.
Thevenin Voltage (Vth) - The open circuit voltage (i.e. the voltage under no load) across the terminals of the network in question.
Norton Current (Inort) - The short circuit current (i.e. the current flowing under a short) flowing through the terminals (and through the short, of course!) of the network in question.
The Thevenin Resistance (Rth) [also Norton Resistance (Rn)] - The ratio of Vth/Inort
Rth [Rnort too!] can be also calculated/checked by replacing all the voltage sources with short circuits, all current sources with open circuits, and then calculating what the resistance 'seen' by the network terminals is.
Geez, that takes me back!
