Circuits 1 - Thevenin Equivalent Circuit - Example

Dan with UConn HKN presents an example problem explaining the process of solving a thevenin equivalent circuit. Thevenin's theorem states that it is possible to simplify ANY linear circuit down to just one voltage source and one resistor. Dan explains how to find the thevenin voltage, and the thevenin equivalent resistance used in the theorem.

Oh holy fuck all semester I've been working on this and I've watched thousands of tutorials on it but I didn't get jack shit until I watched this video. Fuck, you saved my life man I'm actually in tears

[@rhetorical_annihilation]

I think this was a great example. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!

Bruh, useful af. Methods are explained simple and clean. Helped a lot

[@oAbraksas]

Great explanation, way better than most on youtube

[@straxescraft]

KCL says if a current enters a node it equals it when it leaves, THEN shouldn't it be :

[@matthewcahill1037]

best example of thevenin yet, and i finally know an actual use case for it too

[@farnazansari9697]

OH MY GOSH! That was a bit tough!but with your explanation it became much easier:)

[@christopheraguilar44]

Great thank you so much for the awesome explanation!

[@beschies17]

I'm sorry but the intro music almost had my ears bleeding (this is exaggeration)

[@pengyuanchen3080]

Thank you so much! This is really helpful :)

Sum of input currents are equal to output current(s)

[@madelynweathers2275]

Why didn't you put your ground between the 25 and 20 ohm resistors on the bottom right?

[@tylerkriney]

In the node voltage method it was said that current entering a node would be negative but in the calculations it was added for the first fraction ((v-12)/120). Why would it be added instead of subtracted in this instance?

What's the Rth if there is no 0.2A current source (shorted)?

[@Rawr478]

How you do norton equivalent for this circuit

[@s.m.faizer1057]

This is amazing! I solved that by using nodal analysis and mess analysis which was quite lengthy bt the VDL could be used I learnt from you..

[@demianrobermen7259]

shouldn't you ignore that 20 om resistor when u r calculating the Thevenin resistance?

[@mintlata]

Thank you for the lesson!

[@TheCalvo101]

thanks for helping me understand why you disregard a resistor/ path !
