Find the short-circuit current, 𝐼𝑠𝑠 , for the Circuit.
Step 1.
Place a virtual short circuit
(i.e. a wire) across the output
terminal.
Step 2.
Determine the current
flow through the wire in the
direction consistent with the
arrow for 𝐼.
The short circuit forces the voltage
between the terminals to be 0 𝑉
(they actually become part of the
same node!). The short circuit is
equivalent to the current through
the 2 Ξ© resistor (by KCL) for this
example. It can be found
according to Ohm’s Law.
𝐼𝑠𝑠 = 𝐼2Ξ© =
Answer: 𝐼𝑠𝑠 = 3 𝐴
