Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Is one allowed to find [itex]R_{Th}[/itex] by simply short circuiting all voltage source and opening all current sources and finding the equivalent resistance while keeping [itex]R_{L}[/itex] in place and treating it's ends as stationary nodes? I know you can do this with independent sources but I'm not really sure about dependent sources. My professor said that he wasn't really sure.
When I use this method to find [itex]R_{Th}[/itex] I get two ohms.
However I don't know if this is accurate as it's not what I get when I use other methods to find [itex]R_{Th}[/itex].
So is this a valid solution to this problem? If it is and [itex]R_{Th}[/itex] is really two than I'm greatly concerned because I have tried solving this problem two other ways and don't get this for my answer. The two other methods I used to solve the problem give me the same answer as well. If it is than I'll post my other solutions if it is necessary.
Thanks for any help.
