Simplifies complex circuits into single voltage source (Thevenin) or current source (Norton) for easier analysis. Equivalent circuits valid for load analysis.

Fórmula

Vth = Isc × Rth

Guía paso a paso

  1. 1Thevenin voltage: open circuit voltage at terminals
  2. 2Thevenin resistance: resistance seen with sources removed
  3. 3Norton current: short circuit current
  4. 4Norton resistance equals Thevenin resistance
  5. 5Vth = Isc × Rth

Ejemplos resueltos

Entrada
RTh=100ohm, VTh=10V
Resultado
Thevenin equiv

Errores comunes a evitar

  • Not properly calculating open circuit voltage
  • Forgetting to remove sources for equivalent resistance

Preguntas frecuentes

When should I use Thevenin equivalents?

To analyze different load impedances without recalculating entire circuit.

Are Thevenin and Norton equivalent?

Yes; same underlying network; Thevenin more common for voltage sources, Norton for current.
