Electrical and Computer Engineering —ELEC 301 Tevesia, Nooo, ané Miler —P3.1 Thevenin's Theorem: A portion of a network (see Figure 1) may be represented by an equivalent voltage source V, and an equivalent impedance Z,. V, and Z, the Thevenin equivalent voltage source and impedance, respectively, are obtained by opening the circuit at the terminals across which they are desired. Simply measure (calculate) V, across the two terminals. Then short-circuit all independent voltage sources, open- circuit all independent current sources, set all initial conditions to zero, check that there is no other coupling between the two parts of the network, and calculate Z,. Let the network consist of two parts, A and B, which are connected as shown in Figure 1 (there is no other coupling between A and B than what is shown). We wish to replace A with its Thevenin equivalent circuit. (OiVicolas A. F. Jaeger.
