Thevenin Equivalent with dependent source

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the Thevenin equivalent of a circuit containing dependent sources and no independent sources. The user initially inserted a 1V source across terminals "a" and "b" to analyze the circuit and calculate the equivalent resistance (Rth = 1V/Ix). They labeled the currents through the resistors for clarity. Ultimately, the user resolved their issue and considered deleting the thread, seeking advice on how to do so. The conversation highlights the process of analyzing circuits with dependent sources in Thevenin equivalent calculations.

hi :smile:

I'm having some trouble figuring out the Thevenin equivalent for this circuit.

As you can see, there are two dependent sources (current dependent current source & voltage dependent voltage source) and no independent source.

I have started trying to analyse the circuit by inserting a 1V source across the terminals "a" and "b".

With the 1 volt input across terminals "a" and "b", I have tried to determine the current entering the circuit to allow for determining the equivalent resistance of the circuit (Rth = 1V/Ix).

labelling the current through the 10 ohm resister i1 and the current though the 40 ohm resister i2.

I got it.
dont worry about this one.
... should I delete the thread?
if so, how?
