SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the Thevenin equivalent circuit for a given circuit with a 4-ohm load resistor. The calculated Thevenin voltage (Vth) is 10 V, derived from the equation Vth = -10 + 20. The Thevenin resistance (Rth) is determined to be 6 ohms. The calculations are confirmed as correct by other participants in the forum.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Thevenin's Theorem
  • Basic circuit analysis techniques
  • Familiarity with voltage and resistance calculations
  • Knowledge of series and parallel resistor combinations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Thevenin's Theorem applications in complex circuits
  • Learn about Norton equivalents and their relationship to Thevenin equivalents
  • Explore circuit simulation tools like LTspice for practical applications
  • Investigate advanced circuit analysis techniques, such as mesh and nodal analysis
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone involved in circuit analysis and design will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement



[PLAIN]http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/9092/asdrc.jpg
given this circuit find the thevenin equivalent

the 4 ohm resistor is the load

The Attempt at a Solution



at first I found Vth which is Vth = -10+20 = 10 V

then i found Rth which is 6 Ohms

but I am not sure if I am correct
