  • This example problem uses Thevenin's theorem to determine a Thevenin equivalent circuit for a DC electrical circuit with two voltage sources and a few resistors. Note that this video solves the example problem, but does not give a detailed explanation for Thevenin's theorem.
    This problem comes from question 81, section 6.9 of James Fiore's online DC Electrical Circuit Analysis text ((tinyurl.com/dc.... )
    00:13 - Problem definition
    00:19 - Step 1: Identify part of circuit to Thevenize
    00:35 - Step 2: Label port
    00:53 - Step 3a: Set voltage sources to 0V
    01:53 - Step 3b: Calculate RTh (Thevenin resistance)
    02:42 - Step 4: Determine VTh (Thevenin Voltage)
    03:03 - : Use superposition
    03:24 - : 10V source VTh calculation
    04:40 - : 24V source VTh calculation
    05:40 - : Put 10V and 24V source calculations together
    06:25 - Thevenin equivalent circuit
    07:01 - Calculate V(load) and I(load)
    08:33 - Power of Thevenin

    I remember when I was in college (about 35 years ago) attending the Electricity 101 class, all seemed so cryptic and confusing but you explain just in ten minutes what took me days to understand, and everything is so clear that I wish I had a teacher like you. Awesome. Thank you.

      I was watching it thinking, "wow, pretty darn good, writing backwards behind plexiglass," and then, "ooh, he's lefty too. That's rare!" and then, "oh. Flipped the video."
      Regardless, nice explanation of the concepts and showing how to "see" into the circuit from the Thevenin check point perspective.

    Excellent explanations. Knowing that there are any number of ways to solve the ckt, the simpler (thus faster) method instead of Superposition would have been to use “Special Thevenin” without the 4K and then to stick it back in to come up with a final Vth answer. He could even have left the 4K in and used Millman for a quicker solution.

    So i am confused about how the thevenin voltage is between terminals A and B, but when you re-insert the load resistor in between these two terminals, the thevenin voltage does not drop across the load resistor. May you explain this to me? thanks

    Why did you do 2k plus 4k instead of 10k+4k?

    • @calebadenuga5332
      @calebadenuga5332 5 місяців тому +2

      Because the 10k is in series with the voltage source and since we want to make the resistors in series to the voltage source, we can just pick up the 2k and 4k that are in parallel, sum them up (i.e 2k//4k), the result will be in series with both the 10k and the voltage source (which is what we intended) so by finding the voltage drop across the 1.333 (i.e 2k//4k) is the same as Vab
