Original Title: Full description. Thevenin theorem is an analytical method used to change a complex circuit into a simple equivalent circuit consisting of a single resistance in series with a source voltage. Then the Thevenin's Equivalent circuit would consist or a series resistance of 6. We also use third-party cookies that help us analyze and understand how you use this website.

That is the i-v relationships at terminals A-B are identical.

You are on page 1. of 8. Selected+Problems+Ch2. Save Selected+Problems+Ch2 For Later. That is without the load resistor RL connected. Find the Equivalent Voltage (Vs). However, Thevenin's equivalent circuits of Transistors, Voltage Sources such as batteries etc, are very useful in circuit design. We then get the following circuit. However, you may visit "Cookie Settings" to provide a controlled consent.
PDF, TXT or read online from Scribd. Find the current flowing through the load resistor RL. The value of the equivalent resistance, Rs is found by calculating the total resistance looking back from the terminals A and B with all the voltage sources shorted. Reward Your Curiosity. Firstly, to analyse the circuit we have to remove the centre 40Ω load resistor connected across the terminals A-B, and remove any internal resistance associated with the voltage source(s). Thevenins Theorem Equivalent Circuit. No longer supports Internet Explorer. The voltage Vs is defined as the total voltage across the terminals A and B when there is an open circuit between them.

In the next tutorial we will look at Nortons Theorem which allows a network consisting of linear resistors and sources to be represented by an equivalent circuit with a single current source in parallel with a single source resistance. In this tutorial we will look at one of the more common circuit analysis theorems (next to Kirchhoff´s) that has been developed, Thevenins Theorem. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies. But there are many more "Circuit Analysis Theorems" available to choose from which can calculate the currents and voltages at any point in a circuit. This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website. As far as the load resistor RL is concerned, any complex "one-port" network consisting of multiple resistive circuit elements and energy sources can be replaced by one single equivalent resistance Rs and one single equivalent voltage Vs. Rs is the source resistance value looking back into the circuit and Vs is the open circuit voltage at the terminals. 33 amperes (330mA) is common to both resistors so the voltage drop across the 20Ω resistor or the 10Ω resistor can be calculated as: VAB = 20 – (20Ω x 0.

With the 40Ω resistor connected back into the circuit we get: and from this the current flowing around the circuit is given as: which again, is the same value of 0.
For example, consider the circuit from the previous tutorials. But opting out of some of these cookies may affect your browsing experience. © © All Rights Reserved.

We have seen here that Thevenins theorem is another type of circuit analysis tool that can be used to reduce any complicated electrical network into a simple circuit consisting of a single voltage source, Vs in series with a single resistor, Rs.

Thevenins theorem can be used as another type of circuit analysis method and is particularly useful in the analysis of complicated circuits consisting of one or more voltage or current source and resistors that are arranged in the usual parallel and series connections. Search inside document. Thevenin's Theorem states that "Any linear circuit containing several voltages and resistances can be replaced by just one single voltage in series with a single resistance connected across the load". When looking back from terminals A and B, this single circuit behaves in exactly the same way electrically as the complex circuit it replaces. We use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits. The basic procedure for solving a circuit using Thevenin's Theorem is as follows: 1.
VAB = 10 + (10Ω x 0. In other words, it is possible to simplify any electrical circuit, no matter how complex, to an equivalent two-terminal circuit with just a single constant voltage source in series with a resistance (or impedance) connected to a load as shown below. Find VS by the usual circuit analysis methods.
