SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of Thevenin's Theorem to simplify a circuit and calculate the current through a 5Ω load resistor (R5). The initial calculation yielded a current of 0.908A, while a subsequent method using the equation Rth = VOC/ISC resulted in 0.45A. Participants are encouraged to share their calculations to verify the results and provide assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Thevenin's Theorem
  • Familiarity with circuit analysis techniques
  • Knowledge of equivalent resistance calculations
  • Experience using online circuit calculators
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Thevenin's Theorem applications in circuit analysis
  • Learn how to calculate open-circuit voltage (VOC) and short-circuit current (ISC)
  • Explore advanced circuit simulation tools like LTspice
  • Review examples of load resistor analysis in electrical engineering
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Thevenin's Theorem and its practical applications in circuit analysis.

TL;DR Summary: Thevenin Theorum

Hi Guys,

Trying to answer the following question with the attached figure

Q) To simplify the process, determine & draw the Thevenin equivalent circuit and then calculate the current through the R5 (5Ω) load resistor.

I have followed a similar example on this forum and got a final answer of 0.908A - can any else confirm this ?

Using an online calculator to get most of the way there and then just applying a final equation of Rth = VOC/ISC i get 0.45A

Any and all help would be great - Thank you all in advance
