    Calculation for Rth
    To calculate Rth when dependent source are taking into account for this, assume a imaginary source say 5 V is connected across terminal A and B and current produced by that current source is I then Rth is given by the relation.
    Rth = 5/1
    the equivalent circuit for calculating Rth is shown below:
    5 = 2 Vx + I. 1 ....(i)
    Vx = 1. I
    5 = 2 I + I

    I =
    5
    3


    so, Rth =
    5
    = 3 Ω
    5 / 3

    Calculation for Vth:
    Here the 3 A current source will drop across 1 Ω resistance

    Vx = 3 × 1 = 3 V
    or Vth = 2 Vx + Vx + 18
    or Vth =3 Vx + 18 = 3 × 3 + 18 = 27 V
