Question
![**Problem 2**
**(a)** In circuit (a) below, find the Thevenin equivalent resistance as seen between A and B.
\[ R_{Th} = \text{______} \]
**(b)** I attach the load shown in (b) between A and B in the circuit of part (a). What value of \( R \) will result in the maximum power being received by this load (i.e., all the resistors of the load combined)?
\[ R = \text{______} \]
**Diagram Explanation**
- **Circuit (a):**
- The circuit consists of several components connected in a network:
- A 2 Ω resistor connected at point A in series with other elements.
- An 8 A current source pointing downward connected from A to B.
- A dependent voltage source (denoted as \(2 \cdot i_a\)) in series with another 2 Ω resistor.
- An 8 A current source in series with two 2 Ω resistors.
- An 8 V voltage source in parallel with the entire setup.
- **Circuit (b):**
- This circuit, intended to be attached between points A and B of circuit (a), includes:
- A 6 Ω resistor in parallel with a 3 Ω resistor.
- An adjustable resistor \( R \) in series with the parallel combination, for which the optimal value must be calculated to maximize power transfer.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F66bc14d7-9bd5-4ef7-a060-9dc8d70059dc%2F616dd461-b759-4103-9a9a-2013ca7fc7ca%2Fzu9kl6b_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
