Homework Statement
Hello everyone!
I am attempting to find the thevenin equivalent for a circuit. I've got the Rth but am not struggling to find the Vth
Homework Equations
I have included a screen shot of the circuit
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought the best way to go about it was to divide the circuit up into three loops and make three equations.
I got
(1) 1 - 4I1 - 12(I1 - I3) =0
(2) I2 - 1(I2 - I3) = 0
(3) (I3 - I2) - 12(I3 -I1) - 5I3 = 0
If I solve these equations I get I1 = 1/16 A and I2 = 3/4 A so I am thinking that I can add up the two Is to give 13/16 A as the total current in the circuit. But I'm not sure how I can make a find loop which includes both AB and the voltage source to give me Vth.
Could anyone offer a hand?
Thanks very much.
