Engineering Thevenin and Norton Equivalent Circuits

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the Thévenin equivalent circuit for a given circuit problem. The participant confirms that the Thévenin-equivalent resistance is calculated correctly. To determine the open-circuit voltage between points A and B, it is noted that no current flows through the 100-ohm resistor when open. A correction is made regarding an equation used in the calculation, clarifying that the relationship should be (VB-VA)/200=2. The conversation concludes with gratitude for the assistance provided.

The Thevenin-equivalent resistance is correct.
You need to find the open-circuit voltage between a an b. If it is open no current flows through the 100 ohm resistor, so all the 2A current of the current generator flows to B and then to A, through the 200 ohm resistor. So you know at VB-VA.

So, there's an incorrect equation, right?
 
Yes, the second one.

Is it just (VB-VA)/200=2?
 
Yes.
