Hello.

I posted here but I am not posting my actual homework question, but it is connected to my homework...

..so, does anyone know of anywhere on the internet that gives a good detail read through of Thevenin's theorem, maybe giving a few examples. I did a google search and found some stuff, but it is generally examples of circuits containing maybe 2 resistors in series and a voltage source, which is pretty easy to work out.

My homework is asking me to get the Thevenin's circuit for a circuit containing 5 resistors, a voltage source and a current source, and I would rather try and figure this out myself, rather than someone here giving me the answer. I have been making an attempt and think I am on the right lines, but you never know :)

Thanks in advance.

Sean
