    Circuit Thevenin
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a circuit problem that has been solved using the superposition method, yielding a result of -750 mA. The original poster is seeking assistance in applying Thevenin's or Norton's theorem, expressing frustration with their inability to simplify the circuit using these methods. Participants suggest that source transformations could simplify the circuit further. To receive constructive feedback, the original poster is encouraged to share their work on the Thevenin or Norton attempts. The conversation emphasizes the versatility of Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, although they may not always be straightforward to apply.

Homework Statement



I have this problem its been bothering me for a while. The problem asks to be solved by method of superposition. I have already solved it but I am sure it can also be solved by thevenins or nortons. I can tried many different combinations but i can't seem to get it. Please take a look at it and let me know if it is possible or not.

Homework Equations



It is easily solvable by superposition but i think my teacher said that thevenin and nortons can solve " ANYTHING" so I am basically trying to apply that to everyproblem. But it doesn't work all the time .

The Attempt at a Solution


i solved this problem by superposition i got -750 mA . I know its right . But when i try to solve it by thevenins or nortons i get stuck.

A number of source transformations should be able to reduce that circuit down to something very simple.

If you want us to correct you on your attempt at solving the problem using Thevenin or Nortons theorem (or source transformations) then you are going to need to post your work.
