Figure 7.8. Circuit for Example 7.4
Solution:
With the resistor disconnected, the circuit reduces to that shown in Figure 7.9.
Figure 7.9. Circuit for Example 7.4 with the resistor disconnected
By application of the voltage division expression,
(7.16)
and
(7.17)
Then, from (7.16) and (7.17),
or
(7.18)
Next, we find the Thevenin equivalent impedance by shorting the voltage source.
The circuit then reduces to that shown in Figure 7.10.

Figure 7.12. Thevenin equivalent circuit for Example 7.4
With the resistor connected at X-Y, the circuit becomes as shown in Figure 7.13.

We find using MATLAB:
Vth=1106.87j; Zth=112+10.6j; Ix=Vth/(Zth+100);
fprintf(' \n'); disp('Ix = '); disp(Ix); fprintf(' \n');
Ix = 0.5160 - 0.0582i
that is,

The same answer is found in Example C.18 of Appendix where we applied nodal analysis to find
