Thevenin Equivalent Example Problem

This example problem uses Thevenin's theorem to determine a Thevenin equivalent circuit for a DC electrical circuit with two voltage sources and a few resistors. Note that this video solves the example problem, but does not give a detailed explanation for Thevenin's theorem. This problem comes from question 81, section 6.9 of James Fiore's online DC Electrical Circuit Analysis text ((https://tinyurl.com/dc-elec-ccts-fiore). ) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Problem definition https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Step 1: Identify part of circuit to Thevenize https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Step 2: Label port https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Step 3a: Set voltage sources to 0V https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Step 3b: Calculate RTh (Thevenin resistance) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Step 4: Determine VTh (Thevenin Voltage) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - : Use superposition https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - : 10V source VTh calculation https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - : 24V source VTh calculation https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - : Put 10V and 24V source calculations together https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Thevenin equivalent circuit https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Calculate V(load) and I(load) https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/RMLo0qMyWmM - Power of Thevenin This video (and the online textbook) have the creative commons license: CC-BY-NC-SA (https://tinyurl.com/cc-license-by-nc-sa)
