Engineering Find voltage for circuits with buffer amp

AI Thread Summary
To find the voltage in circuits with buffer amplifiers, the initial step involves calculating Vab using voltage division, resulting in a value of 10. Next, the equivalent resistance of the connected devices is determined to be 16 ohms by combining resistances in parallel. It is recommended to simplify the analysis by reducing Device #1 to its Thevenin equivalent and Device #2 to a single equivalent resistance. Following this simplification, the next step is to redraw the circuit using the new device models. This approach streamlines the process of finding the desired voltage.

The Attempt at a Solution


I first found Vab which was 10 by using voltage division on the first device. By connecting CD to AB, the equivalent resistor is 80// 20, 16? I am not sure where to go from here.

Your life would be made easier if you first reduced Device #1 to its Thevenin equivalent and Device #2 to a single equivalent resistance. For part (2) draw the resulting circuit using your simplified device models.
