Engineering Thevenin's equvalent circuit of the network?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding Thevenin's equivalent circuit using nodal analysis, highlighting challenges with dependent sources. A suggested approach is to start with the correct answer and work backwards to understand the solution process, which can help avoid unproductive efforts. Additionally, using a circuit simulator like QUCS is recommended for building the circuit and measuring values. Participants are encouraged to share their attempts for better assistance. Overall, the conversation emphasizes practical strategies for solving Thevenin's equivalent circuit problems.

I think the best way to work out how to do these problems is to 'cheat' and that is, start with the correct answer.
Then work backwards to see how the answer was got to.

Then work forwards from the beginning to see if you can get the correct answer.

The reason for doing it this way is because a lot of time can be spent going down blind alleys (which can sometimes be useful, but often is frustrating).

I recommend downloading a decent circuit simulator. A good free on is QUCS.

You can build your circuit as drawn and measure currents and voltages at all points in the network.

Then try to work out on paper, and see if you can match the correct result
 
Show the details of your attempt. We cannot help you without seeing what you've tried.
