Find the Thevenin Equivalent (Circuit with diode load)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the Thevenin equivalent of a circuit that includes a diode as the load. Participants are addressing the steps needed to approach this problem, focusing on the methodology for calculating the Thevenin equivalent in the context of circuit analysis.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants emphasize the need for the original poster to clarify their question and show prior attempts before receiving help.
  • One participant suggests that it is feasible to find the Thevenin equivalent by analyzing the circuit stepwise.
  • Another participant notes that the diode should be considered as the load and that the Thevenin equivalent should be determined by looking into the open terminals where the diode was removed.
  • It is proposed to find Rth by first removing the diode and then turning off the voltage source by replacing it with a short circuit.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the steps to find the Thevenin equivalent, but there is no consensus on the original poster's specific question or approach, as they have not yet provided sufficient context or prior work.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the importance of showing prior efforts in problem-solving, which is a prerequisite for receiving assistance in this forum.

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
