Thevenin's theorem, is Wikipedia correct?

Ded_Zebra

Just wondering if this example done out on wikipedia is done correctly because my lecturer did them a different way which gives wildly different answers?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thevenin_equivalent

mods if there is a better place for this could you move it please

Thanks,

Zebra

It's correct.
Have a look here, there's pdf with some examples:

If you like, show us how you think it should be done and we can see if and where the problem may be...

Thanks for your support, this is the way that I thought was correct. Unfortunately I couldn't begin to describe the other way as it makes ZERO sense to me.:rolleyes:
