Find the Thévenin equivalent circuit at terminals A,B. Remember that a Thévenin equivalent looks like a series voltage source and resistance. We’ll use two methods to find Thévenin resistance. First, we’ll remember that the open circuit voltage is the Thévenin resistance * the shortcircuit current. The open circuit voltage, Voc, is shown above. If we were to connect A and B with a wire, Isc is the current through that wire. So the Thévenin resistance is the open circuit voltage divided by the open circuit current. First, we’ll find Voc. The circuit looks like a voltage divider. Voc exists across the 300 Ω resistance. We must be certain that no current escapes the circuit when using the divider. Voc is the resistance of interested divided by the equivalent resistance, times the source’s value. We get Voc = 0.6 * 50 = 30 V. Now connect the terminals with a short circuit. Isc is positive, pointing from A to B. The 300 Ω resistor is in parallel with a 0 Ω wire, so the equivalent resistance is 0 Ω. Isc is the current flowing through the two resistors that have a 200 Ω equivalent resistance. Isc is the voltage divided by Req, or 250 mA. So the Thévenin resistance is Voc / Isc, or 120 Ω. Now let’s find Rth using the lookback resistance method. First, confirm that the circuit has only independent sources. Then, kill the sources by setting all sources to zero. A 0V source is like a piece of wire. Now look back through terminals A and B and find the resistance that is seen. We have two resistors in series with another resistor. Combining these gives 120 Ω. The lookback resistance is easier since the Thévenin voltage is the same as the open circuit voltage.
