AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the Thevinin Equivalent of a circuit, initially yielding Vth = 20V and Rth = 10kΩ. A participant points out that the correct Vth should be 30V due to an overlooked 2mA constant current source. The original poster acknowledges the mistake and shares revised calculations using a source equivalent method. Another participant reviews the updated work and confirms there are no mistakes in the revised approach. The thread emphasizes the importance of considering all elements in circuit analysis for accurate results.

Hi,

Im trying to find the Thevinin Equivalent of the attached circuit.

The answers I am getting are
Vth = 20v
Rth = 10kΩ

The attachment shows my workings for the problem.

Please advise if there are any errors in my work and if you could where and what i need to do to correctly solve them.

Many Thanks

Hi, the correct answer for Vth voltage is 30V, its looks like you simply forget about 2mA constant current source in your approach.
And yes Rth is indeed equal to 10K.
 
Thanks very much for the reply Jony130 and for pointing out my mistake.

I've attached my revised workings could you check to see if the steps I have taken are correct, I am trying to solve this using a source equivalent method.

Thanks again.
