Thévenin Equivalent

The Thévenin Equivalent is a method used in electrical engineering to simplify complex circuits. It allows you to replace a portion of a circuit with a simple equivalent circuit that contains just one voltage source and one resistor. This makes it easier to analyze the behavior of the circuit, especially when determining how it interacts with other components. Essentially, you find the open-circuit voltage and the equivalent resistance seen from the terminals of the part of the circuit you’re focusing on, making complex problems more manageable without losing accuracy in analysis.
