Final answer:
To determine the Thevenin equivalent of a network, calculate the equivalent resistance and find the open circuit voltage.
Step-by-step explanation:
Determine the Thevenin equivalent of the network looking into two terminals
To determine the Thevenin equivalent of a network, follow these steps:
Calculate the equivalent resistance of the network using series and parallel combinations of resistors.
Find the open circuit voltage, which is the voltage across the two terminals when no current is flowing.
The Thevenin voltage is equal to the open circuit voltage.
The Thevenin resistance is equal to the equivalent resistance of the network.
Once you have the Thevenin equivalent, you can use it to analyze the behavior of the network when connected to different loads.
