In the theory of electrical circuits, Thévenin's theorem allows the replacement of a two-terminal portion of a linear circuit by a simplified circuit consisting of a voltage source, called the Thévenin voltage source, in series with an impedance, called the Thévenin impedance. Thévenin's theorem is the dual of Norton's theorem, which replaces a two-terminal portion of a linear circuit by a simplified circuit consisting of a current source in parallel with an impedance.
