Vxx’  = Vth = \(\displaystyle\frac{\frac{4}{8} + \frac{8}{24}}{\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{24}}\) = 5V

 

∴ Rth  = 8 || (16 + 8)

= (8×24)/(8 + 24) = 6 Ω.

Thevenin equivalent as seen from terminal yy’ is

Vxx’ = Vth = \(\displaystyle\frac{\frac{4}{8} + \frac{8}{24}}{\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{24}}\) = 5V

(0.167 + 1)/(0.04167 + 0.125) = 7 V
∴ Rth  = (8 + 16) || 8

= (24×8}/(24 + 8) = 6 Ω.

For the circuit given below, the Thevenin resistance across the terminals A and B is ________

A. 5 Ω
B. 7 kΩ
C. 1.5 kΩ
D. 1.1 kΩ

Answer: B

Let VAB  = 1 V

5 VAB  = 5

Or, 1 = 1 × I1 or, I1  = 1

Also, 1 = − 5 + 1(I – I1)

∴ I = 7

Hence, R = 0.2 kΩ.

 

96. For the circuit given below, the Thevenin voltage across the terminals A and B is ____________

For the circuit given below, the Thevenin resistance across the terminals A and B is ________

A. 1.25 V
B. 0.25 V
C. 1 V
D. 0.5 V

Answer: D

Current through 1 Ω = (5/2) – I1

Using source transformation to 5 V sources

VOC  = 1 × I1

VOC  = − 5 VOC + (5/2) – I1) × 1

Eliminating I1, we get, VOC  = 0.5 V.

 

97. In the following circuit, the value of open-circuit voltage and the Thevenin resistance between terminals a and b are ________

In the following circuit, the value of open circuit voltage and the Thevenin resistance between terminals a and b are ___________

A. VOC  = 100 V, RTH  = 1800 Ω
B. VOC  = 0 V, RTH  = 270 Ω
C. VOC  = 100 V, RTH  = 90 Ω
D. VOC  = 0 V, RTH  = 90 Ω

Answer: D

By writing loop equations for the circuit, we get,

VS  = VX, IS  = IX

VS  = 600(I1 – I2) + 300(I1 – I2) + 900 I1

= (600 + 300 + 900) I1 – 600I2 – 300I3

= 1800I1 – 600I2 – 300I3

I1  = IS, I2  = 0.3 VS

I3  = 3IS  + 0.2VS

VS  = 1800IS – 600(0.01VS) – 300(3IS  + 0.01VS)

= 1800IS – 6VS – 900IS – 3VS

10VS  = 900IS

For Thevenin equivalent, VS  = RTH IS  + VOC

So, Thevenin voltage VOC  = 0

Resistance RTH  = 90Ω.

 

98. In the circuit given below, it is given that VAB  = 4 V for RL  = 10 kΩ and VAB  = 1 V for RL  = 2kΩ. The values of the Thevenin resistance and voltage for the network N are ____________

In the circuit given below, it is given that VAB = 4 V for RL = 10 kΩ and VAB = 1 V for RL = 2kΩ. The values of the Thevenin resistance and voltage for the network N are ____________

A. 16 kΩ and 30 V
B. 30 kΩ and 16 V
C. 3 kΩ and 6 V
D. 50 kΩ and 30 V

Answer: B

When RL  = 10 kΩ and VAB  = 4 V

Current in the circuit

I = VAB/RL = 4/10 = 0.4 mA

Thevenin voltage is given by

VTH  = I (RTH  + RL)

= 0.4(RTH  + 10)

= 0.4RTH  + 4

Similarly, for RL  = 2 kΩ and VAB  = 1 V

So, I = 1/2 = 0.5 mA

VTH  = 0.5(RTH  + 2)

= 0.5 RTH  + 1

∴ 0.1RTH  = 3

Or, RTH  = 30 kΩ

And VTH  = 12 + 4 = 16 V.

 

99. For the circuit shown in the figure below, the value of the Thevenin resistance is _________

For the circuit shown in figure below, the value of the Thevenin resistance is _________

A. 100 Ω
B. 136.4 Ω
C. 200 Ω
D. 272.8 Ω

Answer: A

IX  = 1 A, VX  = Vtest

Vtest  = 100(1 − 2IX) + 300(1 − 2IX – 0.01VS) + 800

Or, Vtest  = 1200 – 800IX – 3Vtest

Or, 4Vtest  = 1200 – 800 = 400

Or, Vtest  = 100V

∴ RTH = Vtest/1 = 100 Ω.

 

100. For the circuit shown in the figure below, the Thevenin voltage and resistance looking into X − Y are __________

For the circuit shown in the figure below, the Thevenin voltage and resistance looking into X-Y are __________

A. 4/3 V and 2 Ω
B. 4V and 2/3 Ω
C. 4/3 V and 2/3 Ω
D. 4 V and 2 Ω

Answer: D

RTH = Voc/Isc

VTH  = VOC

Applying KCL at node A,

\(\frac{2I − V_{TH}}{1} + 2 = I + \frac{V_{TH}}{2}\)

Or, I = VTH/1

Putting, 2VTH – VTH  + 2 = VTH + VTH/2

Or, VTH  = 4 V.

∴ RTH  = 4/2 = 2Ω.
