00:00:01,310 --> 00:00:07,050
>> The second method for determining
the Thevenin equivalent impedance,

2
00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:11,010
involves calculating the
short circuit current

3
00:00:11,010 --> 00:00:15,450
that would flow or the
current that would flow,

4
00:00:15,450 --> 00:00:18,705
if you were to apply a short circuit
between the terminals,

5
00:00:18,705 --> 00:00:22,650
and then Z Thevenin,

6
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:27,810
is equal to the open circuit voltage
divided by the short-circuit current.

7
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:31,455
We've already determined
the open-circuit voltage.

8
00:00:31,455 --> 00:00:34,050
In our previous video,

9
00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:41,830
we found that the open-circuit voltage
was equal to 6.25, angle 51.34.

10
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:48,020
So now, we simply need to calculate
the short-circuit current and

11
00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:52,565
then find the Thevenin impedance
by taking the ratio of those two.

12
00:00:52,565 --> 00:00:57,740
This method works anytime you have
at least one independent source,

13
00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:01,940
either an independent voltage source
or an independent current source,

14
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:05,330
and whether you have
dependent sources or not,

15
00:01:05,330 --> 00:01:07,670
the short-circuit current method will work.

16
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:10,430
You'll recall that the equivalent
impedance method that we showed in

17
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:18,020
the previous example only worked if you
had independent sources or no sources.

18
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:22,790
At previous method did not work
if you had dependent sources.

19
00:01:22,790 --> 00:01:25,760
This method will work
with dependent sources as

20
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,525
long as you have at least
one independent source also.

21
00:01:29,525 --> 00:01:31,610
All right. What will our approach be?

22
00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:34,850
Well, we need to find the
current flowing through here.

23
00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:38,960
In this circuit, the short circuit
current is going to be the current

24
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:43,550
flowing through this j50 ohm inductor.

25
00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:47,045
Now the current flowing
through that j50 ohm inductor,

26
00:01:47,045 --> 00:01:51,860
will be the voltage at
this point divided by the j50.

27
00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:52,940
So let's call that voltage there.

28
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:57,755
Let's call that V_1 and
we can then say that

29
00:01:57,755 --> 00:02:03,050
I short circuit is equal
to V_1 divided by j50.

30
00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:07,175
So our problem now becomes
determining what V_1 is.

31
00:02:07,175 --> 00:02:09,305
Well, again in this circuit,

32
00:02:09,305 --> 00:02:15,550
this inductor has been brought into
parallel with this 20 ohm resistor,

33
00:02:15,550 --> 00:02:18,380
and if we combine those two in parallel,

34
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:19,820
we will have, in fact,

35
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:21,200
I should do that first.

36
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:30,470
Z parallel is equal to 20 times
j50 divided by 20 plus j50,

37
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:39,035
and that turns out being 17.24 plus j6.9.

38
00:02:39,035 --> 00:02:42,215
So this circuit then reduces down to,

39
00:02:42,215 --> 00:02:46,070
our source here of 10 angle zero,

40
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:49,805
then minus j25 capacitor.

41
00:02:49,805 --> 00:02:53,850
Then, we've got this
equivalent parallel impedance,

42
00:02:54,610 --> 00:03:00,535
Z_p and V_1.

43
00:03:00,535 --> 00:03:03,935
The voltage that we're looking
for is that voltage there.

44
00:03:03,935 --> 00:03:06,560
So these two are in series with each other,

45
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,070
so we can get V_1 using a voltage divider.

46
00:03:09,070 --> 00:03:13,530
V_1 that is equal to 10 times Z_p,

47
00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:21,795
which is 17.24 plus j6.9 divided
by the sum of those two,

48
00:03:21,795 --> 00:03:31,110
17.24 plus j6.9 minus j25.

49
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:35,220
V_1 it turns out is then equal

50
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:43,515
to 7.43 angle 68.2

51
00:03:43,515 --> 00:03:46,315
All right. That's V_1.

52
00:03:46,315 --> 00:03:48,330
We need I short circuit.

53
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:54,470
I short circuit is V_1 divided by
j50 or I short circuit is equal to

54
00:03:54,470 --> 00:04:02,130
7.43 angle 68.2 divided by j50,

55
00:04:02,380 --> 00:04:05,810
and that equals

56
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:14,550
0.149 angle negative 21.8.

57
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:18,750
Finally, we've got
the short-circuit current,

58
00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:28,400
so we can find Z Thevenin by taking
the open-circuit voltage of 6.25 angle

59
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:39,900
51.34 and dividing by the short-circuit
current of 0.149 angle negative 21.8,

60
00:04:40,190 --> 00:04:47,960
and that gives us the same impedance
that we found in the previous method of

61
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:55,900
12.2 plus j40.2 ohms.
