Thevenin Resistance in Electrical Circuit Formulas

Thevenin resistance is the resistance measured at terminals AB with all voltage sources replaced by short circuits and all current sources replaced by open circuits. And is denoted by R_th. Thevenin Resistance is usually measured using the Ohm for Electric Resistance. Note that the value of Thevenin Resistance is always positive.
