THEVENIN THEOREM Thévenin’s theorem greatly simplifies analysis of complex circuits by allowing us to replace all of the elements with a combination of just one voltage source and one resistor. “A complex two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source VTH in series with a resistor RTH .” Original Circuit Thevenin Equivalent Circuit In the new circuit: - VTH is the open circuit voltage at the terminals. The Voltage between A and B. RTH is the input or equivalent resistance at the terminals when the sources are turned off. The equivalent resistance between A and B. To draw your new equivalent circuit follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove your load and label your terminals a and b. Solve for VTH . Solve for RTH . Draw your new equivalent circuit. 1. Remove your load and label your terminals a and b. 2. Solve for VTH . The Thevenin voltage is the voltage between a and b with the load removed. Follow the path of current leaving the source to see if it divides and it goes through the 40 Ohms resistor. Note that no matter if you have resistors on the open terminals since no current can flow through them. In this case this is a closed loop where the voltage between a and b Vab = VTH ,and is also the voltage drop across the 40Ω resistor, that can be solved using the VDR . 40 20 ⋅ 4.4V Vab = VTH = V40 Ω = = 40 + 80 + 60 3. Solve for RTH . Turn off your Source. - If it is a Voltage source ( Es ) Short Circuit. - If it’s a Current source ( I s ) Open Circuit. Then your RTH is the value of resistance between terminals a and b. To see how to combine the resistors, try to follow the path of the current from a to b to check where splits or merge or where simply is not going through because there is an open circuit (due to the current source that you turned off) or a short circuit in the same node (due to the voltage source that you turned off). −1 RTH 1 1 31Ω Rab = = + = 60 + 80 40 4. Finally: Draw your new Thevenin equivalent circuit plugging ETH , RTH and RLD .
