When faced with a circuit where the current is shown going into a terminal which isn't connected to anything, then, yes, the current will be zero as long as the circuit topology remains as shown.View attachment 20062
When faced with a circuit like this, when calculating thevenin equivalents or anything. We can always say that the current ix is zero. Correct ?
I think when you speak about thevenin almost find load between a and b terminals Why? because we want calculate max. power for load . Of couse, if nothing between a and b terminals Ix will be zeroView attachment 20062

That's what I mean't, I misphrased my question.When faced with a circuit where the current is shown going into a terminal which isn't connected to anything, then, yes, the current will be zero as long as the circuit topology remains as shown.
No problem - it was probably of little interest most forum members, but sometimes there are ideas that may be worth posting just in case .....@t_n_K
I'm a civil major, so all of that was wasted on me thank you though
