Question
Norton’s theorem provides an equivalent circuit for a two-terminal
linear source. A Norton circuit has a current source and a parallel
resistance (see text, page 16). Convert the Thevenin equivalent for
your function generator in Figure 1-2 to its Norton equivalent. Draw
the circuit in the space below.
 
 
### Figure 1-2: Function Generator with Load

**Diagram Description:**
This diagram illustrates a basic function generator circuit connected to a load. The circuit includes the following components:

- **Function Generator**: Encapsulated by a dashed line box, representing its boundary.
- **V_th (Thevenin Voltage Source)**: Depicted as a sinusoidal voltage source within the function generator.
- **R_th (Thevenin Resistance)**: Represented by a resistor in series with the voltage source.
- **Output Terminals**: Shown as points where connections can be made to the external load.
- **R_L (Load Resistance)**: Illustrated as a resistor connected to the output terminals of the function generator.

**Equation:**
- \( R_L = \underline{\qquad\qquad\qquad} \)

This diagram serves to illustrate the principles of connecting a function generator to a load, highlighting where the Thevenin equivalent circuit parameters are located and how the load (R_L) connects to the system.
