Thevenin's equvalent circuit of the network?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the Thevenin equivalent circuit of a network using nodal analysis. Key concepts include Thevenin's voltage and Thevenin's impedance. A participant suggests utilizing a circuit simulator, specifically QUCS, to visualize the circuit and measure currents and voltages, which aids in understanding the problem-solving process. The approach of working backwards from the correct answer to verify calculations is emphasized as a practical strategy.

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
