Thevenin Theorem
Step 3
Draw the Thevenin equivalent circuit with the 6Ω resistor connected to the circuit.
Figure 2.2(h): Thevenin equivalent circuit
Step 4
Calculate the current flowing through the 6Ω resistor using:
iL = V th
(Rth + RL)
i6Ω = (3−j9) = 0.334 – j0.605 A
(7.5 − j2.5) + (6)
The current flowing through the 6 Ω resistor = 0.334 – j0.605 A
Example 3
Calculate the value of current flowing through the impedance (15+j20) Ω by using
Thevenin’s theorem.
