The application of Thevenin's theorem in a circuit results in:
Multiple Choice Options
- A
ideal voltage source
- B
an ideal current source
- C
current source and an impedance in parallel
- D✓ Correct Option
voltage source and an impedance in series
Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation
Thevenin's theorem states that any linear, bilateral two-terminal network can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of an open-circuit voltage source () in series with an equivalent internal impedance ().
Option Analysis:
•
Option A (ideal voltage source): Incorrect. An ideal voltage source neglects internal source impedance.
•
Option B (an ideal current source): Incorrect. An ideal current source carries no internal impedance.
•
Option C (current source and an impedance in pa...): Incorrect. This is the Norton equivalent circuit, not Thevenin's.
•
Option D (voltage source and an impedance in se...): Correct. Thevenin's theorem strictly yields an independent voltage source in series with .
