How to calculate thevenin's equivalent resistance

AI Thread Summary
To calculate Thevenin's equivalent resistance, short the batteries and simplify the circuit by combining resistors in series and parallel. The discussion clarifies that a delta to star transformation is unnecessary for basic series and parallel configurations. After shorting the supplies, the equivalent resistance across terminals A and B was determined to be 1.33 ohms. This was confirmed as correct by solving the resistors in parallel, specifically combining 4 ohms and 2 ohms. The method used for the calculation was validated by participants in the discussion.

when i short the batteries to find the rth, i can't get whether is should put delta to star transformation to find thevenines resistance?
can some one tell me how to calculate thevenines equivalent resistance in the figure shown... step by step

It would help if there were actually a figure

Am uploading this word file it contains the image..:-)

Why do you think you need a delta/star transform? You have simple series and parallel resistors. The problem reduces to an extraordinarily simple one. You should try redrawing the circuit with the supplies shorted out.

so whT WILL BE nswer after shorting them and finding thevenine equivalent reistance across terninal a and b?
mine is coming 1.33 ohms, is it rite?

Yes. See how easy that was?

i solved 4 and 2 in parallel, and 10 parallel with ze0r, so automatically ans is 0 of 10 iin parallel with zero, so the only thing left was 4 in parallel with 2, that's is 1.33.
this is correct method right?
