Methods of Finding Thevenin’s Equivalent Circuit
We already have discussed 1st approach in the last blog, if haven’t visited there click here to read the blog. Let’s now talk about 2nd approach.
Method 2
When both independent type and dependent type sources are present, use these methods to find Thevenin’s equivalent circuit.
Step 1 − Consider the circuit diagram by opening the terminals with respect to which, Thevenin’s equivalent circuit is to be found.
Step 2 − Find Thevenin’s voltage VTh across the open terminals of the above circuit.
Step 3 − Find the short circuit current ISC by shorting the two opened terminals of the above circuit.
Step 4 − Find Thevenin’s resistance RTh by using the following formula.
Step 5 – Connect the Thevenin voltage VTh and Thevenin resistance RTh in series to create the Thevenin equivalent circuit.
The response is now located in a component that is on the right side of Thevenin’s equivalent circuit.
