Thévenin's theorem for linear electrical networks states that any combination of voltage sources, current sources, and resistors with two terminals is electrically equivalent to a single voltage source V and a single series resistor R #wikipedia
actually i will explain you the way to solve problems applying this theorem consider a large network and in that network assume any resistance R about which you are asked o find the current and voltage-drop. now follow the steps below carefully
1. remove the specific resistor from the circuit (open the resistor) and find the voltage across both the points(or even parallel to both the points) where the resistor is opened this is called VTH (this is called thevenin's voltage).Also dont forget to open the current sources if present.
2. now to calculate the effective resistance as seen from the opened resistor short all the voltage sources and open all the current sources. and assume an arbitrary voltage V in the place of the opened resistor find current through the branch by mesh analysis and the ratio of voltage and current gives you the effective resistance fo the circuit as seen from the opened resistor. this is called Rth (thevenin resistance).
now , after getting the values of VTH,RTH construct a circuit in which the given resistance R and RTH arein series with the voltage source VTH , and the so called found current is the current flowing through R in the actual circuit

∙ 9y agoOhm's Law and Kirchhoff's Laws allow solution of complex circuits, but they do not solve complex supplies.
If a supply contains multiple voltages or currents, or multiple resistances (or both), use Thévenin's ("tay-ven-ins") theorem:
"Any combination of voltage sources, current sources and resistors with two terminals is electrically equivalent to a single voltage source V and a single series resistor R."

Are there any restrictions for the use of circuit elements in Thevenin's theorem verification?
no thevenins theorem works for every type of element. for a.c. analysis of a circiut consisting of capacitors inductors etc. a different method is followed to find thevenins equivalent but it is valid...
What are the applications of thevenin's theorem?
in simplifying complex circuits and for different loads this theorem proven very useful
Can thevenins's theorem be applicable in a network having nonlinear elements?
yesAnswerNo it cannot, any more than Ohm's Law can be applied to circuits with non-linear elements.
What theorem is used in vacuum tubes?
Millman's theorem
What network theorem is generally used in the analysis of vacuum tubes?
Millman's theorem

Where you use thevenins theorem in daily life?
The number of vehicles per hour entering a busy road junction equals the number leaving it The amount of liquid entering a pipe equals the amount issuing from the end, plus the leaks.
Can you explain the Pythagoras theorem?
The theorem is a2+b2=c2 To explain, the legs of a triangle are labeled with a and b, but it doesn't matter which leg is labeled with which letter. The hypotenuse is always labeled with c. The theorem is that the sum of the two leg lengths squared is the square of the hypotenuse.
What is used to explain a statement in a geometric proof?
Postulate, Corollary, Definition, & Theorem
How can you explain how to use Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
Can a theorem be used to explain the steps of a proof?
Yes- provided its proof does not depend on the result you are using it to prove.
Explain in the pythagorean theorem must be a right triangle?
yes it only apllies to the right triangle and "c" is the hypotnuse of the triangles
Please explain the pythagorean theorem in simple terms.?
the easiest thing to know it A squared + B squared = C squared
