use ONLY a series of source transformations to find the Norton equivalent circuit.

### Circuit Diagram Explanation

The image shows a linear electrical circuit with multiple components connected in series and parallel. Below is a detailed description of the circuit elements:

1. **Voltage Source (Left)**
   - A DC voltage source providing 48 volts is located at the beginning of the circuit.

2. **Resistor 1**
   - A 2-ohm resistor is connected in series with the 48V voltage source.

3. **Resistor 2**
   - A 6-ohm resistor is connected in parallel with a current source (1A) and a voltage source (15V).

4. **Current Source**
   - A current source that provides 1 ampere is located in parallel with Resistor 2 and the 15V voltage source.

5. **Voltage Source (Middle)**
   - A DC voltage source of 15 volts is connected in series with the 6-ohm resistor and the 1A current source.

6. **Resistor 3**
   - A 20-ohm resistor connects the section with the 15V source and the 1A current source to the next section of the circuit.

7. **Resistor 4**
   - A 15-ohm resistor is in parallel with a current source (3A).

8. **Current Source (Right)**
   - A 3-ampere current source is connected in parallel with Resistor 4.

9. **Terminals**
   - The circuit ends with two terminals labeled "a" and "b".

This circuit includes a combination of series and parallel elements, which is useful for demonstrating the application of Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s laws in circuit analysis.
