Now that a conceptual understanding of Thevenin’s theorem has been established, we are ready to determine the Thevenin voltage ( VTH ) and Thevenin resistance ( RTH ) for an open circuit: The equivalent voltage will represent a system in which the voltage source ( Vs ) has been replaced by a voltage that “Continue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Thevenin Voltage and Resistance Determination“

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Series-Parallel Circuits
For the most part, the circuits we’ve encountered have been either series or parallel circuits with no deviance from either extreme. The only exception to this trend regarded circuits that had multiple voltage sources positioned within their multi-loop matrix. Adding to this complexity was the fact that these voltage sources could be oriented in anyContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Series-Parallel Circuits“
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Parallel Circuits
We have previously seen how all of the current ( I ) within a series circuit will pass through each resistor ( R ) situated within it. The sum of the energy drops that a coulomb ( C ) of charge loses as it traverses a circuit is equal to the voltage ( V )Continue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Parallel Circuits“
