Thevenin's Theorem: Solving Homework Equations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on applying Thevenin's Theorem to solve homework equations involving circuit analysis. The user correctly identifies the Thevenin equivalent voltage (Vth) and resistance (Rth), calculating Rth as 5/3R. Clarifications are provided regarding circuit symbols, confirming that triangles indicate a common node. The user is advised to verify their results by checking the short circuit current (Isc) and open circuit voltage (Voc) to ensure consistency. Overall, the calculations and understanding of circuit components appear to be on the right track.

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.
