THEVENIN EQUIVALENT FOR CIRCUITS WITH ONLY DEPENDENT SOURCES
A circuit with only dependent sources cannot self start.
This is a big simplification!!
But we need a special approach for the
computation of the Thevenin equivalent resistance
Since the circuit cannot self start we need to probe it
with an external source
The source can be either a voltage source or a
current source and its value can be chosen arbitrarily!
Which one to choose is often determined by the
simplicity of the resulting circuit
(actually that statement has to be qualified a bit.
What happens if
)

SOURCES
