Thevenin equivalent circuit

Question

Answer 1

(2)

Step 1:

Find the thevenins equivalent voltage.

1.Open the load resistor.

2.Calculate the Open Circuit Voltage. This is the Thevenin Voltage .

Redraw the circuit :

The netwrok has two independent loops.

Find the current in each loop.

Loop 1:

.

Voltage at node A  :

.

Step 2:

Voltage at node B  :

.

.

Step 3:

Voltage across nodes A and B is .

.

Find Thevenin Voltage .

Thevenin Voltage .

.

Therefore Thevenin's Voltage .

Solution :

Thevenin's Voltage is .
