Calculate the current across the 4 ohm resistor.(a) 0.86A(b) 1.23A(c) 2.22A(d) 0.67AThe question was asked during an online exam.My enquiry is from Thevenin’s Theorem topic in division Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering |

Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) 0.86A Best explanation: Thevenin resistance is found by OPENING the circuit between the specified terminal and shorting all VOLTAGE sources. When the 10V source is SHORTED, we get: Rth=(1||2)+3=3.67 ohm. Vth is calculated by opening the specified terminal. Using voltage divider, Vth= 2*10/(2+1)=6.67V. On drawing the Thevenin EQUIVALENT circuit, we get Rth, 4 ohm and Vth in series. Applying Ohm’s law, I=Vth/(4+Rth) = 0.86A. |
