//Problem 13.10: Use Th´evenin’s theorem to determine the current flowing in the 3 ohm resistance of the network shown in Figure 13.31(a). The voltage source has negligible internal resistance. //initializing the variables: V = 24; // in volts R1 = 20; // in ohms R2 = 5; // in ohms R3 = 10; // in ohms R4 = 5/3; // in ohms R5 = 3; // in ohms //calculation: //The 3 ohm resistance branch is short-circuited as shown in Figure 13.31(b). //P.d. across R3 V3 = (R3/(R3 + R2))*V //p.d. across AB, E E = V3 //the resistance ‘looking-in’ at a break made between A and B is given by r = R4 + R2*R3/(R2 + R3) //The equivalent Th´evenin’s circuit is shown in Figure 13.31(e), the current in the 32 ohm resistance is given by: I = E/(r + R5) printf("\n\n Result \n\n") printf("\n the current in the 3 ohm resistance is given by %.0f A",I)
