THEVENIN'S THEOREM: this theorem state that any two-termenal linear bialateral circuit can be replaced to a voltage source(VTH)

in sereis with resistance (RTH) as shown below

The procedure as follows: 1)set all sources in network off(current source set open circuit and voltage source set short circuit)then measure(or detrmine )the resistance between the termenal and set the value as Rth 2)measure(or detrmine )the voltage between the two termenal and set it as Vth Example: detrermine the current through 190 resistance in the circuit shown below

Solution: 1)replace 190ohm resistance and set 10v short circuit to determine the R th

RTH=1000//(470+220)+1000=1410 2)to find vth using the circuit below

Vth=v2+v3=10-v1 V1=10*100/1690 ,v2=10*470/1690 ,v3=10*220/1690 Vth=4.08volt IL=4.08/(1410+190)=2.55mAmp Example(h.w):repeate the above example replacing 10v source with 20mAmp source Example (h,w):repeate the above examples find the current through 220 ohm resistor

Example:for the circuit shown below find the current through R3 using thevenin's theorem

Solution: 1)replace R3 and set vs=0 the circuit become

Rth=R1R2/(R1+R2) 2)find Vfh from circuit shown below:

Vth=v2=vs-v1 V2=vs*R2/(R1+R2) , V1=vs*R1/(R1+R2) Example(h.w):repeate above example after replacing vs(voltage source) with Is(current source)

Example: find the currrent through 3ohm resistor using theenin's theorem for the circuit shown below

1)replace 3ohm resistor and set 8 volt to zero as shown below to find Rth

Rth=6//4=2.4 2) to find vth using circuit below and K.V.L

Vth =V4=E1*6/(6+4)=4.8 volt The thevenin equevakent circuit become

And the current through 3 ohm resistor is I=Eth/(Rth+R4)=4.8/(2.4+3)=.889 Amp Example: repeate above example replacing 8 v by 16 Amp Solution:1)replacing 3 ohm resistor and set 16 Amp off(open circuit) the circuit become

Rth=6//(4+2)=3 2)to find Eth use circuit below

Eth=I1R1 I1=16*2/(6+4+2)=2.667 AMP Eth=2.667*6=16 volt The equevalent thevenine circuit become

I=16/6=2.667 Amp Example:for the circuit shown below find the equevalent thevenine circuit around R L.

1)replace RL and set 72 volt off to find Rth the circuit become

The equevalnt circuit to find Eth is

Using K.V.L Eth=V2-V1=54-48=6volt
