Circuit Analysis – Find the Thévenin Equivalent Between Terminals A and B

circuit analysishomeworkthevenin

Can you help me find the Thévenin equivalent between terminals A and B with all the steps?

This is the circuit

$$R_{eq}=\frac{4}{3}~\Omega\\
V_{eq}=\frac{5}{3}~\mathrm{V}$$

In the first image is the circuit, and below there are the solutions. I need the calculations for the solution of Req.

Here is my attempt:

Req = ((2//3)+3)//1 = 21/26

Veq =
$$\left[\begin{matrix}
2+1+3+3&-3
\\\\
-3&3
\\\\
\end{matrix}\right]
\left[\begin{matrix}
I_1\vphantom{\frac{-1}{R_3}}
\\\\
I_2\vphantom{\frac{-1}{R_3}}
\\\\
\end{matrix}\right]
=
\left[\begin{matrix}
2\:\text{V}\vphantom{\frac{-1}{R_3}}
\\\\
3\:\text{V}\vphantom{\frac{-1}{R_3}}
\\\\
\end{matrix}\right]$$

This solves to:

$$
\left[\begin{matrix}
I_1=\frac56\:\text{A}
\\\\
I_2=\frac{11}{6}\:\text{A}
\\\\
\end{matrix}\right]$$

So

$$V_{eq}=\frac{5}{6}\times2=\frac{5}{3}V$$

These are just hints to get the OP down the right path

The problem is to find the Req

Start like this: -

The resistance (\$R_{AB}\$) is easy now.
