Engineering Check my work please - Circuits Thevenin Thm Prob

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the application of Thevenin's Theorem in circuit analysis, highlighting a mistake in the mesh equation where the voltage across the current source is incorrectly assumed to be zero. Participants suggest that using node analysis would be more appropriate given the presence of a current source. The importance of correctly applying circuit analysis techniques is emphasized to avoid errors in calculations. Overall, the conversation revolves around improving understanding and application of circuit analysis methods. Proper technique is crucial for accurate results in electrical engineering problems.

The equation for mesh 1 is wrong. The voltage across the current source is not zero.
Since you have a current source, it is better to use node instead of mesh equations.
