Obtaining Thévenin Circuit with Dependent Sources • Replace all independent voltage sources with short circuits (0 resistance). • Replace all independent current sources with open circuits ( resistance). • Apply a 1.0 amp current source to the terminal pair. • Resulting terminal voltage numerically equal to Thévenin resistance
Another Thévenin Circuit (1/4) Find open circuit voltage Vab:
Another Thévenin Circuit (2/4) Solve mesh equations for I2 Then Vab can be found:
Another Thévenin Circuit (3/4) Inject One Amp: Now get Thévenin Resistance by node voltage solution:
Check on Previous Example (1/2): • VTh = 12 V and RTh = 3 IN = 4 A • We will calculate IN directly. KVL 1: 20 = 15I1 - 10I2 KVL 2: 0 = 10ix + 8ix ix = 0 I1 = I2
