What you'll learn

  • How to use source transformation to simplify your linear circuits

Course content

1 section9 lectures35m total length
  • Agenda0:12
  • A Word on Linear Circuits Textbooks....0:19
  • Review4:07

    Review linear circuits by covering ohm's law, power, and sources, plus series and parallel resistor rules, nodal analysis, superposition, and Thevenin and Norton equivalents to simplify loads.

  • Finding a Thevenin Equivalent Circuit with Multiple Source Transformations4:06

    Apply a three-step process of repeated source transformations to convert a voltage source in series with a resistor into a current source in parallel, yielding the Thevenin equivalent.

  • A Three-Step Process to Find the Thevenin Equivalent of a Circuit5:34
  • Example of Using the Process to Find the Thevenin Equivalent of Another Circuit3:55

    Demonstrates finding the Thevenin equivalent by removing the load, computing open-circuit voltage (1.15 V), and calculating the Thevenin resistance (2.13 Ω) via parallel simplifications and source transformations.

Description

Day 19 of Linear Circuits.  Thevenin equivalents builds upon our previous topic of source transformation.  It is an even more powerful tool to analyze linear circuits.  Using nothing more than Ohm's Law, we show you how you can transform a linear circuit into an equivalent circuit that often is much, much easier to solve.


The material covers all of the lecture material from an nineteenth lecture in a traditional, sophomore-level linear circuits class.
