 Thevenin Theorem

Suppose we want to find the current for load

resistance RL.

The procedure is as follow:

Prof. Dr. Md. Ashikur Rahman Khan
Thevenin Theorem
The procedure is

1. Remove RL from the ckt terminals A and B; and redraw the

ckt as Fig. (b). Obviously the terminals have become open-
circuit.

1. Calculate the open-circuit voltage Voc across the terminals A

and B.

Where r is the
internal resistance
of battery

Problem 1: Convert the circuit shown in following figure to a
single voltage source in series with a single resistor.

Prof. Dr. Md. Ashikur Rahman Khan

 With terminals A and B open, the two
voltage sources are connected in
subtractive series because they oppose
each other.

Net voltage around the circuit is

(15 - 10) =5 V and

Total resistance is (8 + 4) = 12 Q.

Hence circuit current is =5/12 A.

Drop across 4 Q resistor=4x 5/12=5/3V

.. VAB = Vth = + 10 + 5/3 =35/3V.

Prof. Dr. Md. Ashikur Rahman Khan

Incidently, we could also find VAB while going along the parallel route
BFEA.

Drop across 8 Q resistor =8 x 5/12 =10/3 V.

VAB equal the algebraic sum of voltages met on the way from B to A.

Hence, VAB=(- 10/3) + 15 =35/3 V.

For findign Rth we will replace the two
voltage sources by short-circuits.

In that case, Rth =RAB =4‖8

=8/3 𝛺.
Problem 2: State Thevenin's-theorem and give a proof, Apply this
theorem to calculate the current through the 4 Ω resistor of the circuit
of following Figure (a).

Prof. Dr. Md. Ashikur Rahman Khan

As in Fig. (b) 4 Ω resistance is removed and open-circuiting the
terminals A and B.
Now find VAB and RAB for Vth and Rth respectively.

Using voltage divider rule, then voltage drop across 5 Ω resistor

=15×5/(5+10)
=15×5/15
=5V or V1=(V×R1)/R
V2=(V×R2)/R
V3=(V×R3)/R
