+
20 V 4A Vx

Solution

(a) Apply 20 V source only:

Since i  0 5Vx  20  Vx  4 V

Apply 4 A source only:

KVL: 5Ω 4Vx''
+

5i2  4Vx Vx  0 +

i2 4A
i2  4 A  Vx  4 V Vx''

Vx  Vx  Vx
Vx  4  4  8 V

2. In the circuit shown, find the Thevenin equivalent with respect to the terminals a-b.

Solution

In order to find VTh

Voc  10 V = VTh since io = 0 A.

RTh : KCL at node V1:

V1
 4i0  i0  0  V1  25i0
