Thevenin Theorem
This is the circuit on which we will be using Thevenin
theorem to find the Thevenin Voltage V TH and Thevenin
Resistance RTH for the load resistor which is connected across
A and B.
1) Open the 5kΩ load resistor. As shown in the diagram below
12kΩ and 4kΩ resistance are in series with 48V battery as current
will not flow in 8kΩ resistor as terminal A and B are open.
4kΩ and 8kΩ resistor are in parallel though current is not flowing
but voltage on both will remain same.
Next slide.
To find VTH we will find voltage drop on 4kΩ resistor using voltage
divider
V4kΩ = * 48 = 12V
4) Now we will find the open circuit resistance looking from terminal
A,B and this will be RTH for our circuit.
5) This circuit can now be represented with VTH and RTH connected in
series with RL connected between A and B.
