Understanding Thevenin's Theorem for Circuits with Dependent Sources

AI Thread Summary
Understanding Thevenin's Theorem with dependent sources can be challenging, particularly in calculating the Thevenin impedance (Zth). While calculating the Thevenin voltage (Vth) is straightforward, Zth requires careful consideration of dependent sources. When dealing with circuits that contain only dependent sources, specific techniques must be applied to find Zth. Examples of circuits with dependent sources can clarify these concepts and help in grasping the method. Mastering these principles is essential for analyzing complex circuits effectively.

Hello all,
May you please help me out in understanding how to deal with circuits with dependent sources.

* I don't have problem in calculating Vth in any circuit but Zth confuses me. :confused:
* What to do with circuits with only dependent sources ?

Can you give an example of a circuit you have problem with ?
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
