Let's solve the problem step by step.

Given Circuit:
1. Voltage source: 30 V
2. Resistors: 5 Ω, 10 Ω, 15 Ω, 5 Ω
3. Current source: 3 A
4. Load resistor: RL
1. Transform the 3 A current source and the 15 Ω resistor into a voltage source:
A current source in parallel with a resistor can be transformed into a voltage source in series with the same
resistor. The voltage of the new source is:
V = I ⋅ R = 3 ⋅ 15 = 45 V
So, the 3 A current source and 15 Ω resistor become a 45 V voltage source in series with a 15 Ω resistor.
The circuit now looks like this:
1. A 30 V voltage source in series with 5 Ω and 10 Ω resistors.
2. A 45 V voltage source in series with 15 Ω and 5 Ω resistors.
3. The two branches are connected in parallel.

Apologies for the incomplete response earlier! Let’s carefully solve the problem step by step.
We will simplify the circuit using source transformation to find the Thevenin equivalent voltage (Vth ) and
Step 1.1: Transform the 3 A current source and 15 Ω resistor into a voltage source
A current source in parallel with a resistor can be transformed into a voltage source in series with the same
resistor. The voltage of the new source is:
V = I ⋅ R = 3 ⋅ 15 = 45 V
So, the 3 A current source and 15 Ω resistor become a 45 V voltage source in series with a 15 Ω resistor.
The Thevenin voltage is the open-circuit voltage across terminals a and b. To find this, we calculate the
voltage across the 5 Ω resistor in the second branch.
R1 = 5 Ω + 10 Ω = 15 Ω
R2 = 15 Ω + 5 Ω = 20 Ω

I1 = Itotal ⋅ = 8.75 ⋅ = 5A
R1 + R2 35

I2 = Itotal ⋅ = 8.75 ⋅ = 3.75 A
