SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on finding the Thevenin equivalent of a circuit with a diode load. To determine the Thevenin equivalent, users must first remove the diode and replace the voltage source with a short circuit to find the Thevenin resistance (Rth). The process involves analyzing the circuit stepwise, ensuring that the diode is treated as a load during the calculations. This method is essential for accurately simplifying complex circuits for analysis.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Thevenin's Theorem
- Basic circuit analysis techniques
- Familiarity with diode characteristics
- Knowledge of voltage source behavior in circuits
- Study Thevenin's Theorem applications in various circuits
- Learn about diode load characteristics and their impact on circuit behavior
- Explore advanced circuit analysis techniques using simulation software
- Practice circuit simplification methods with different load types
Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone involved in circuit analysis and simplification will benefit from this discussion.

Yes, it is possible to find the Thevenin equivalent by working stepwise though a circuit.
Note that the problem statement says to view the diode as the load, so for the purposes of finding the Thevenin equivalent you need to imagine that the diode is removed and the Thevenin equivalent is as viewed looking into the open terminals where the diode was.

First find Rth. Start by removing the load, in this case the diode, as gneil said, then turn off the voltage source by replacing it With a Short circuit
