THEVENIN’S THEOREM
STATEMENT: In any linear, active, bilateral AC network the load across its
terminal a-b can be replaced by a simple equivalent circuit having single
AC voltage source (Vth) in series with a single impedance (Zth).
Where (Vth) is the known as Thevenin’s equivalent voltage across the
terminal a-b.
(Zth) is the Thevenin’s equivalent impedance viewed back into the network
from terminal a-b.
Note: independent voltage sources are short circuited and independent
current sources are open circuited. Dependent sources will remain in the
circuit for the calculation of Norton’s equivalent resistance.

THEVENIN’S THEOREM
Saturday, August 10, 2019 syed hasan saeed 4
Procedure For Converting Any Circuit Into Thevenin’s Equivalent
Circuit And Its Calculations:
Step 1: Identify and temporarily remove the impedance (load impedance ZL) through
which the current is required. Suppose these terminals are label as a-b. Therefore
a-b is the open circuited.
Step 2: Find the voltage across the terminal a-b by applying KCL, KVL, Ohm’s law
or Superposition principle. This voltage is the open circuit voltage (Voc) and it is
known as Thevenin’s equivalent voltage (Vth).
Step 3: Set all voltage Sources short circuited and Current Sources open circuited
Step 4: Calculate the impedance as “seen” through the terminals a-b into the
network. This impedance is known as Thevenin’s equivalent impedance (Zth).
Step 5: Replace the entire network by Thevenin’s equivalent voltage (Vth) in series
with Thevenin’s equivalent impedance (Zth).
Step 6: Reconnect the previously removed impedance (load impedance ZL) to this
circuit.
Step 7: Calculate the Current through load resistance
