Thevenin Equivalence: Is my workings correct?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of Thevenin's theorem to analyze a circuit. The user successfully utilized nodal analysis to determine the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current (Isc) for the circuit in question. The equivalent resistance (Rth) was calculated using the formula Rth = Voc/Isc. The conversation also touches on the determination of maximum power transfer, indicating a focus on optimizing circuit performance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Thevenin's theorem
  • Familiarity with nodal analysis techniques
  • Knowledge of circuit components and their behaviors
  • Proficiency in using KCL (Kirchhoff's Current Law) and KVL (Kirchhoff's Voltage Law)
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the concept of maximum power transfer theorem
  • Learn advanced nodal analysis techniques for complex circuits
  • Explore practical applications of Thevenin's theorem in circuit design
  • Investigate the impact of load resistance on circuit performance
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone interested in circuit analysis and optimization techniques.

Rth=Vth/I

The Attempt at a Solution


Included in Screenshot.

What I did was Open-Circuited the Load and use Nodal Analysis to find Voc

Then, I shortcircuited the Load to find Isc.

Then I use Isc and Voc to find Rth
