Thevenins theorem is a procedure by which we change a complex network in to simple network called thevenins equivalent circuit. A is more suitable for graph containing denpendent source. For the love of physics walter lewin may 16, 2011 duration. They are not usually accessible by the end user of the equipment, and their setting may be sealed or fixed when the equipment is assembled. This voltage divided by the 1 a current is the norton impedance r no. Circuit pneumatique cours et exercices, exercice et corrige circuit electrique ofppt, td pneumatique mei, des. The thevenin theorem explains how to simplify a complex circuit. To draw your new equivalent circuit follow these steps. A fullsize, gheoreme potentiometer is shown in figure this system wastes far theoreke power than if the potentiometer controlled the lighting or heating element directly as a rheostat.
This can be used to powerup associated components for example, an audio amplifier. Equation 1 in the diagaram expresses an external voltage v y. This is equivalent to calculating the thevenin resistance. Any linear electrical network containing only voltage sources, current sources and resistances can be replaced at terminals ab by an equivalent combination of a voltage source v th in a series connection with a resistance r th. Pdf thevenins theorem and its applications researchgate. As originally stated in terms of dc resistive circuits only, thevenins theorem aka. It states that any linear circuit with only voltage sources, current sources and resistors can be simplified to a voltage source with a series resistor. Any twoterminal network consisting of resistors, fixed voltagecurrent sources and linear dependent sources is externally equivalent to a circuit. Then find the current through rl 6, 16, and 36 example 4. Thevenins resistance is the ratio of this source voltage to its current, as marked in fig.
This animated object allows students to examine the four steps used to reduce a complex circuit to a simple series circuit. Thevenins example summary 1 the graph shown in the right hand side gives the final result for thevenins theory. When there are dependent sources, the more general method must be used. The voltage at the terminals is calculated for an injection of a 1amp test current at the terminals. R th is the input or equivalent resistance at the terminals when the sources are turned off.
A few examples are presented after this page to illustrate the use of thevenins theorem.

Thevenins equivalent circuit of an open circuit voltage, thevenin voltage, v th and the total resistance from the open terminals side, thevenins equivalent resistance, r th. Eth uab0 tension vue des points a et b sans charge entre a et b.
