SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating Thevenin resistance (Rth) and voltage (Vth) in a circuit with a 10V supply and various resistors. The correct approach involves shorting the voltage source and determining the equivalent resistance seen from terminals A and B. Participants clarify that resistors can be in parallel or series based on their connections after the source is shorted, leading to the conclusion that the Thevenin voltage is derived from voltage drops calculated using voltage divider principles. The final equivalent resistance is established as 32/15 ohms.
