In The Art of Electronics it says the thevein's thereom is simplifying the circuit and it gives an example Of 30V in serioes with 2 10k resistors and the output taken from one of the 10k resistors like a voltage divider but it says the thevenin's equivalent circuit is a 15 V source in series with one 5k resistor.
Page 11
Why are the resistors in series added like they are in paralell in this example? Did I miss something?
Also there is alot of math in the next few pages dealing with tunnel diodes and zener diodes etc. which I read, but the next day completely forgot. Do you think I should try to practice these problems before I move onto the next or will I get the practice in the areas I need throughout the book? It kinda talks briefly about something and moves on to the next real quick, or atleast so far. I am only on page 19 now. I thought I'd be going over alot of stuff I already knew from other books but I am learning new things.
