                       Step 2


                       Calculate the value of Thevenin voltage, Vth by removing the 6Ω resistor from the

                       circuit. Here, there are three different ways to find the Thevenin voltage, Vth.

                       Method #1


                          By using Current Divider Rule (CDR),

                               i  =    3    x (2A)  =  (1.8 + j0.6) A
                                  (3+  4−  5)


                            Vth   = V-j5Ω

                                = i x (–j5Ω)

                                = (1.8 + j0.6) x (–j5 Ω) = (3 – j9) Volts





                       Method #2


                       Simplify the circuit diagram.
