Thevenin's Theorem: Solving Homework Equations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on applying Thevenin's Theorem to solve homework equations involving circuit analysis. The key equations highlighted are Vth = Isc * Rth, with the calculated Rth being 5/3 R and Isc determined to be 0.2 A. The open circuit voltage (Voc) is noted as 1/3 V. Participants confirm the correctness of the resistance calculation and emphasize verifying results by checking the short circuit current and open circuit voltage.

Homework Equations



Vth = Isc * Rth

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm not sure what those triangles mean but I assume it means they belong to the same node so I redrew as such.
After that I found the Rth to be Rth = \frac{2R*R}{3R} + R = \frac{5}{3}R

Edit : I found Isc = 0.2 A
and Voc = 1/3 V

Am i doing it correctly?

Thanks

The triangles signify circuit ground, so yes, they are the same node

To check your work, see what the short circuit current would be and what the open circuit voltage would be at the output in both cases. If they agree, then you have the right answer.

Yes, your value for the resistance is correct, although since you know R=10, you don't need to express it in terms of R.
