Thevenin's theorem Definition and 53 Threads

Hello. I'am practicing circuit analisis about the norton and thevenin's circuits and I can't seem to manage to get the right thevenin's voltage using the node voltage for a) resolution 1) I did source transformation turning the current source(2A) into a voltage source (10V) applied node voltage...

So I've seen other threads on here with the same problem from a few years ago, and I'm just not getting the same answers. However, I followed along with a similar problem in the textbook and used all the same methods, so can't understand where I've gone wrong, or if I even am wrong. Also not...

I'm thinking I should apply Thevenin's Theorem to find the voltage, but I need to find I_D in order to be able to calculate U_S.

(1) We want to find the voltage across ##R_L## (2) We remove the load and label the terminals ##V_T## (3) The equivalent network of (2) So basically the voltage across the load is ##V_{th}## but when we find the equivalent network we put that same voltage behind a Thevenin...

WHY aren't voltage sources open circuited and current sources short circuited? Thevenin's theorem (and even Superposition Theorem) states that we need to 'suppress' or 'nullify' the effect of all sources. We do this by short circuiting voltage sources and open circuiting current sources. WHY...
