Then you have taken on a problem that is too advanced for you. Go back and study the basics.asd852 said:I am a bit clueless
Seeing that you're new to PF, a bit of help.asd852 said:Homework Statement:: 1.whats the equivalent circuit for circiut shown in figure 3??
2.how can we determine the Thevenin parameter for question 2?
Relevant Equations:: mesh/nodal analysis

Could you please draw an equivalent circiut diagram and calculate the results,after which I assume I would understand my confusing pointsSammyS said:Seeing that you're new to PF, a bit of help.
For the problem you show (Question 2 with Figure 3):
Consider the circuit with the 9 Ω resistors removed from terminals A and B.
For Question 2: Make a new thread, showing the attachment as full size. Above all, show an attempt and/or be specific about what is confusing to you and what you do know.

part of the circuit confusing. This is a VERY standard exercise in redrawing the circuit and ends up being totally trivial.
Huh? I did not put a link in my answer. Perhaps you are talking about the link in my signature? That has nothing to do with you. AND you are avoiding my point. DO you find that part of the circuit confusing?asd852 said:Sorry,I find the website you presented irrelevant to the above question

If you have gotten this far, please post a sketch of the re-arranged circuit.
We're here to HELP you, not do it for you. Drawing an equivalent circuit is the heart of the problem and exactly what YOU need to figure out.Could you please draw an equivalent circiut diagram and calculate the results,after which I assume I would understand my confusing points
A picture may help.(two points connected with a viire are the same point in the circuit. )Tom.G said:One more try with clues to assist you.
You have probably been told that any points connected by a wire are at the same potential (voltage), at least I hope that was part of your curriculum!
Keeping that in mind, look at the junction between the upper two 9 Ohm resistors.
Can you say what the voltage is there, and why?
If that helped any, pretend the drawing is on a sheet of rubber that you can stretch out of shape. Now mentally drag the common point of the two upper 9 Ohm resistors to a position that makes more visual sense for you.
If you have gotten this far, please post a sketch of the re-arranged circuit.
Cheers,

(Hang in there asd582, the exercise you were given is designed to be somewhat confusing, and to get that "AH HA" moment in your head when you realize the solution.)
The Thevenin Equivalent is a simplified representation of a complex circuit that consists of a single voltage source and a single resistor. It is used to analyze the behavior of a circuit and can be used to find the voltage and current at any point in the circuit.
To calculate the Thevenin Equivalent, you need to find the open circuit voltage and the equivalent resistance. The open circuit voltage is the voltage between the two terminals of the circuit when there is no current flowing. The equivalent resistance is the resistance seen by the load when all the voltage sources are removed from the circuit.
The Thevenin Equivalent is useful because it simplifies a complex circuit into a simpler one, making it easier to analyze. It also allows us to find the voltage and current at any point in the circuit without having to go through complicated calculations.
The Thevenin Equivalent assumes that the circuit is linear, meaning that the relationship between voltage and current is constant. It also only works for circuits with two terminals and cannot be used for circuits with active components such as transistors.
The Thevenin Equivalent is used in practical applications to design and analyze circuits, especially in electronic devices. It is also used in circuit simulation software to model and test circuits before they are physically built.
