Find the Thevenin impedance at terminals a-b of the circuit on the right. Find the Thevenin impedance at terminals a-b of the circuit on the right. Solution Step 1 Make all sources to be zero so voltage source becomes short circuit and R is parallel to C and the combination of R and C is in series with L R parallel to C = R/(RCs+1) Now this is in series with L Z th = R/(RCs+1) +Ls Z th = (R+RLCs 2 +Ls)/(RCs+1) Putting the values of RLC Z th = [1+(1*1*1(jw) 2 +1*jw]/(1*1*jw+1 Here w=1 and j 2 =-1 Z th = [1-1+j]/(j+1) Z th = j/(j+1) or (j+1)/2 .
