Thevenin Equivalent with dependent source

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the Thevenin equivalent of a circuit featuring dependent sources, specifically a current-dependent current source and a voltage-dependent voltage source. The user initiated the analysis by applying a 1V source across terminals "a" and "b" to calculate the equivalent resistance (Rth = 1V/Ix). The user successfully navigated the problem and expressed satisfaction with the resolution, indicating no further assistance was needed.

PREREQUISITES

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?
