Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
According to the Norton theorem, to find the Norton current, first remove the load resistance RL from the network terminals AB. Short circuit the terminals AB as shown in Figure calculate the current ISc or IN through the short circuit. Now resistance of 150Ω will not show any effect in the circuit. So only resistance of 30Ω will be effective. Norton current IN = 360/30 IN = 12 A
The resistance R3 & R4 are connected in series = (30 + 70) = 100Ω Now three resistor i.e 100Ω, 100Ω & 50Ω is connected in parallel 1/Rp = 1/100 + 1/100 + 1/50 Rp = 100/4 = 25 Ω Resistance 50Ω and 25Ω are connected in series. Rtotal = (50 + 25)Ω Rtotal = 75Ω
