SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a Thevenin problem, specifically calculating the Thevenin resistance (Rth) and Thevenin voltage (Vth). The user correctly calculated Rth as 33.3Ω and the current (I) as 0.13A, but made an error in calculating Vth. The correct approach to Vth was not provided in the discussion, highlighting the importance of proper notation and parentheses in calculations.

Hi all! I need some help with a thevenin problem(attachment).I have searched all the web but all the solutions are for same direction loops.

Here is my attempt until now:

Rth=100*50/150=33.3Ω

Ι= 10+10/150=0.13Α

Vab=10-(50*13)=10-6.5=3.5v

Thanks! :biggrin:

You have Rth correct, and despite writing an incorrect statement for the current, you handled it as though you had written it properly (you need parens) and got that right too.

Your Vth is not correct.
