Solving Thevenin Equivalent Circuit: 300Ω, 100Ω & 25Ω

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the Thevenin equivalent circuit for a configuration involving a 300Ω, 100Ω, and 25Ω resistor with a current source. Participants confirm that the 300Ω resistor is ignored due to the nature of the current source. The consensus is that the 100Ω and 25Ω resistors are in series, leading to a Thevenin voltage of approximately 37.5V and a Thevenin resistance of about 93.75Ω.

Homework Statement



I have this circuit (attached) and I am required to give the thevenin equivalent circuit...since its a current source, the first 300ohm resistor is ignored, right? but then is the 100 ohm and 25 ohm resistor afterwards taken to be in series of parallel, i took series.



i ended up with a voltage source of 37.6V and a thevenin resistance of 94 ohms..is this correct?
