Find the Thvenin equivalent with respect
to the capacitor in the circuit shown. Then
replace the capacitor with a resistor chosen
for maximum power transfer. What is the
value of the resistor? What is the power
absorbed by this resistor?

Find the Norton Equivalent with respect to the 3 Kohm resistor in the middle of the circuit, i.e., the 3
Kohm resistor itself should not be part of the equivalent that you compute.
Solution
Find the Thvenin equivalent with respect to the 1nF capacitor. You must use super-position to find Vth,
the Thvenin voltage.
