" een an. ) Men Vee, Solution Since we are finding the Thevenin with respect to the capacitor, we also take the cap out of the circuit and consider the resistance seen from the terminals where the cap was. The Thevenin equivalent has two parts, Vth and Rth. We will do the easier one first ~ Rth. To find the Thevenin resistance, deactivate all sources (short voltages and open currents) From the point of view of the capacitor terminals, the IK and 2K are shorted out. The 7K also is not included because no current can flow through it. If current was fed into the top terminal, it would flow through the 4K and SK and then come back through the other terminal. Thus \ Rth = 4K || SK = (4K*SK)/(4K+5K) = 2.2K ohms \ ————___—_—_—_——_ Next, welll find Vth using node-voltage analysis, with one node (the bottom wire is the reference node).Vere Voc = y) Writing KCL at the node V1 (current leaving): tic Virk v-3 r aK 73g 7omA= 8 y2=3V Solve for V by multiplying through by 20K: Vo sege: volt SV-15+4V-120=0 Resi » ha. 9V = 135 : ae Current samp.
