Thèvenin Equivalents
Independent Sources
Problem #1
Find the Thèvenin equivalent at the terminals A-B. Use two different methods to find the Thèvenin resistance:
(a) As a ratio of short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage, and
(b) as the lookback resistance.
Need a hint?
Use a voltage divider to find Voc. Then connect a wire between the terminals and find the current through the wire (which is Isc).
