  • 19b - MIDSEM EXAMS: Thevenin's Theorem Problems #knust
    In this video we are going to learn how to solve circuit problems using Thevenin's theorem.
    Thevenin's theorem states that any linear circuit connected between two terminals can be replaced by a Thevenin's voltage Vth in series with a Thevenin's resistance Rth.
    To find the current flowing in a resistor;
    1. Remove the resistor you want to find the current through and mark the terminal
    2. Find the Vth using KVL
    3. Deactivate all independent sources, open circuit current sources and short circuit voltage sources and find the Rth
    4. Produce the Thevenin's equivalent circuit and reconnect the resistor you removed.
    5. Find the current through the resistor using the formula I = Vth/(Rth + Rl)

    Why we use the clockwise direction in 4:41 ? It would be a mistake if we have used the anticlockwise?

    • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn
      @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn  4 месяца назад

      No please, we can equally used the anti-clockwise direction, and that is also correct, the only way we will get a wrong answer is if we use the loop containing the current source.

  • @user-xo1ir8ef6c

    I have an inquiry on the second problem,in calculating the thevenin voltage,why wasn't the 4 ohm resistor used ? We only used the 20 ohm resistor yet the 4 ohm resistor is also in the loop in consideration.

  • @megata6184
    @megata6184 Год назад +1

    How can the thevenin voltage be greater than the voltage source in problem 2. Is it because of the 3A current source?

    • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn
      @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn  Год назад +2

      Not only that, other elements in the circuit contribute to that. And it's not strange if the thevenin's voltage is larger than the voltage source in the circuit.

  • @user-to5rz9fy1n
    @user-to5rz9fy1n 10 месяцев назад +1

    In question 1 Why is the 3A current not being divided between the 2ohm and the 6 ohm resistor

    • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn
      @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn  10 месяцев назад +1

      It depends on how you assign current in the circuit. You can either distribute current from the voltage source or the current source. I used the voltage source: to say that current in both 8 and 6 is I and current coming from the right is 3A. Then current in 2 will be (I + 3). You can use the current source to say that: 3 = I + I2 that is also correct.

  • @godswayzottor5555
    @godswayzottor5555 6 месяцев назад +1

    why is it that when finding the thevenin's voltage across the circuit from the right hand side the current will not flow the 4 ohms resistor? please i will be happy with somebody can help me with the understanding.

    • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn
      @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn  6 месяцев назад +1

      Please are you aware of the steps to take when solving using thevenin's theorem?
      You know you are supposed to eliminate the resistor you want to find the current flowing in. When that happens you have an open circuit and current cannot flow in an open circuit.

  • @user-ChrisB
    @user-ChrisB 5 месяцев назад +1

    But please why is the (6+2)//8. I thought they were all on series?

    • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn
      @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn  5 месяцев назад

      Assume that there is a voltage source in between the terminals ab. Now you realize that there is the left side of the circuit and the right side. 6 and 2 are connected end to end so they are in series and the combination is connected to the same two nodes with the 8 which means that (6+2)//8

      When solving using Thevenins theorem, you remove the resistor you want to find the current flowing through, thats how 4 ohms was ignored when finding vth

    man I'm watching different parts to your videos it makes sense but the steps always confuse me its always the beginning as well, where you'd divide the voltage and then at other times you are doing a different step where you just say a number parallel to another number I'm just confused i know its me. its makes sense but if i were to do it without watching's the vid I'm just back to square one i just wish there was a specific formula to keep it the same its always different every time i watch not saying its you.

    • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn
      @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn  Год назад +1

      I understand, with applied electricity, you just need to understand the fundamentals. You wouldn't have a general formula to help you solve all types of questions, because each question presents how you approach it due to the positions of the circuit element. The fundamental things, how to determine how current circulated in a circuit, relating to which resistors are in series, and parallel, which one has been shorted or open circuited and all that counts a lot

      @@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn that's absolutely correct i sir its just im confused at times when i see it im not able to write down and understand it untill you start wrtiting. question when you have 2 voltages sources you are solving for both I and I1? and when you have a single voltage source and a current you are solving for I including the brackets for the current? for example ( I + 3) my question is if its clockwise its I plus a number and the opposite for anti clockwise ?

    • @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn
      @SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn  Год назад +1

      Yes, if you take any arbitrary direction, if a current moves in the same direction, then it's positive, if it moves in the opposite direction, then negative
