//Problem 13.09: Use Th´evenin’s theorem to determine the current I flowing in the 4 ohm resistor shown in Figure 13.30(a). Find also the power dissipated in the 4 ohm resistor. //initializing the variables: E1 = 4; // in volts E2 = 2; // in volts R1 = 2; // in ohms R2 = 1; // in ohms R3 = 4; // in ohms //calculation: //The 4 ohm resistance branch is short-circuited as shown in Figure 13.30(b). //Current I1 I1 = (E1 - E2)/(R1 + R2) //p.d. across AB, E E = E1 - I1*R1 //the resistance ‘looking-in’ at a break made between A and B is given by r = R2*R1/(R2 + R1) //The equivalent Th´evenin’s circuit is shown in Figure 13.30(d), the current in the 4ohm resistance is given by: I = E/(r + R3) //Power dissipated in R3 P3 = R3*I^2 printf("\n\n Result \n\n") printf("\n the current in the 4 ohm resistance is given by %.3f A",I) printf("\n power disipated in 4 ohm resistor is given by %.3f W",P3)
