Thevenin Rules
Thevenin Rules are used to:
- find the Thevenin equivalent of any two-terminal resistive circuit
1. Disconnect and elements not to be included in the circuit
2. Find the open circuit voltage at the port. The Thevenin VTH is equal
to the open circuit voltage.
3. Set the independent sources to zero (voltage source look like short
circuits and current sources look like open circuits).
Use series/parallel resistors combinations to find the net resistance
