The source zeroed as well

EE 314 · Lecture 08, Worked Example 2, step 2 · back to the slide

This is the circuit from the lecture, running. Change it and the answer changes with it:

Nothing drives this, so every voltage reads zero — correctly. It is here to be looked at, not solved: $R_{Th}$ is what you get by combining what is left, $6\text{k}\|6\text{k} + 2\text{k}$.
