Homework Statement
I am being asked to draw the Thevenin equivalent for
and to calculate the voltage that would appear across RL if it were connected across the 2 output terminals.
Using Kirchoff's law I found that the voltage across RL is -12.5 V. However I am really suppose to do it using Thevenin but I can't figure out how to find the equivalent.
I found the voltage at the node between the two resistors to be 25 V because I1+I2=0, so (50-V1)/5+ (-V1)/5=0, which means V1 = 25V, and I1=5A. Then I found the voltage across the output terminals to be 50V-5Ax5ohm-5Ax10=-25V.
This would mean that Veq=25V...which I believe is wrong, and I also found Req to be 5ohm...which is probably also wrong...
Can someone help please?
