Jan 22, 2015 at 8:29 comment added alex.forencich In general when there is an 'external' terminal in a circuit, you cannot optimize away the node that it is connected to as you will just be shooting yourself in the foot.
Jan 22, 2015 at 8:27 comment added alex.forencich The idea is you can do all of this work once to figure out what happens when you connect ANY load that would be connected across those terminals, without having to re-analyze the circuit with a specific load connected.
Jan 22, 2015 at 6:45 comment added user1527227 Thanks... So when calculating the thevenin resistance, you have to assume that there "would" be a load there even though it's shown without one to do the calculations. Right?
