Thanks sir but u have a question You said the current in 5 ohms is ( I - 2) and it is going ant- clockwise So my question is if it is going clockwise will it still be minus or will the sign change to plus Hope you understand Thanks

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

it will change to positive, but the source voltage will need to change too, to negative. Since the current coming from the voltage source is from the negative terminal. So in effect it will be -20v

[@PrinceCaleb-hb3kp]

Great lesson sir. but i'm kin'of wondering as to why Vth is negative since the main source is the 35v

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

It doesn't really matter, the negative only means that that current is rather moving in the opposite direction to the direction we used.

Can you please explain why didnt 2A went only in 5Ω's direction and not to the voltage sources direction too?

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

the 20v produces its own current I, and according to conservation of energy, the same current produced by 20v should be the same current that returns to 20v, hence 2A is considered to bee circulating in that loop passing through only the 5ohm resistor

Sir if you are going in anticlockwise that should be -6I not 6I

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

No please, notice that in the anti-clockwise direction, the current in 6 ohms is in line with the anti-clockwise direction hence it's supposed to be 6i not -6i. Please do you get it?

[@annamariashzltrek9235]

in the first example, when the current of the final circuit turns out to be MINUS 3 ampere, doesnt it mean that the current has counter clockwise direction? or else put, when Vth is found negative, doesnt it mean that the positive and negative pole are reverse as initially assumed?

Are those two resistors not in parallel? You added them like they were in series

Which of them please, you can specify the time stamp in the video. Thanks

[@keletsoleburu3594]

Another great video sir...but why is it that in example 2, the 2A current is considered to keep circulating around 1 loop over and over

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

current produced by the 20v flows through both 10 and 5ohms and through the last 5ohms before it goes back to the source. meanwhile at the node where the 2nd 5 ohms is connected, current from 20v flows downwards while 2a flows upwards opposing eachother. now when you consider 2a to be circulating in that loop, it makes it easy to realize that it opposes the current produced by 20v in that branch

[@ikhtiarhossain]

Why do we need to assume there is a voltage source between points a and b in the the second example? In first glance I thought all the resistors are in series (5+10+5) because they have the same current

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

At glance, everyone will assume that the three resistors are in series but that's not true. You will need to think of plugging in a voltage source to see how current will be distributed in the circuit. Due to the presence of the node between 5 and 10, current will split. So no same current will flow throw all the three resistors

[@faithfadare8864]

Just the best

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

Awww thanks so much Faith. I'm grateful.

[@capone9905]

in the second example can you please explain the I-2

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

well, good day, its very simple and easy to understand, consider the loop on the far left, the current in that loop will keep on circulating over and over. Now, the current produced by the 20v will flow throgh the 10, 5, and 5 ohms resistors. Since there is an open circuit, the current will not divide at the first loop where 10ohms, 5ohms and vth are connect, at the next node, the current wont divide but all will flow downwards in the 5ohm. notice that the two current values flowing in the 5ohms have opposite signs hence one should be negative. anyone of them can be negative, but the actual answer you get at the end proves the original direction of the current

[@RaazDagla]

Nice explanation

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

Thanks so much

[@kwasisb5390]

The second example when viewing the Vth towards the right side won't it be Vth+20 = 10(3/2) but I ended up having -5. Or I misunderstood something?

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

Direction of vth opposes 20v hence, vth - 20 = -10(1.5)

[@kwasisb5390]

@@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn as in moving from Vth anticlockwise through the 20V. I thought since the current will enter the negative terminal of the 20v it will be positive or? Like if we move anticlockwise from Vth the 20V will also be in anticlockwise.

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

Yes it will be positive as you say. But mind you current will leave negative terminal of vth making vth negative. Hence -vth + 20 = 10(1.5)

[@kwasisb5390]

[@derricksekyi7462]

I really appreciate this video too but please from the second example why is the current passing through the 5 ohms resistor ( I-2 ) A. I'm alittle confused, what if it's rather (2-I )A. That's not the answer though but just to clear my thought and to get a better understanding why the current in the 5 ohms resistor is ( I-2 ) A

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

So first, we assign current I which flows through 10 and 5 ohms on top because there is an open terminal at ab so no current flows through that branch. The current I flows through the other 5 ohms on the left. Notice that the current source at the far left points downwards which means it's going to circulate in the 5 ohms in the anti-clockwise direction opposing the initial direction of I

i think in 5 ohm there are 2 currents (I-2) and 2 go thought. Beside I= 1.5 ==> I-2

No please, once they are in the same direction, it's a +, if they oppose each other, then it's a minus.

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

Thanks for your contribution

[@RichmondMensah-n4x]

Why does the 2A current didn't split at that node

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

You can decide to split it, but the best way is to consider the voltage source as your reference source and use that to do current distribution. And that is what I did.

You need to just look through the terminal to see which direction will be relevant to your calculation, then you decide.

[@cactus4964]

Sir but how do you know on either to use clockwise or anti-clockwise for the first question when finding the Vth

[@jeewakanuwantha7561]

I=V/Rt=42/18 (12+6) how could be 18 ?These are parallel of seires?

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

I don't really get your question, but the most important thing is, because of the open circuit, there will be no current in 3 ohms, so the current in 12 and 6 is same, which means 12+6 is 18 Hence I = 42/18 = 21/9

the answer to the first example is just 21 not -21

[@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn]

the answer is -21v or 21v depending on the direction you are working with. -21v and 21v are actually the same thing, the only difference is the polarity, where the positive terminal is on the right or the left.

​@@SkanCityAcademy_SirJohn but didnt you take the voltage across the 6 ohm resistor in reverse the current is entring from pos polarity to the ground(i mean from above ) so the voltage should be reversed
