**Find the Norton and Thevenin equivalent of the circuit in the figure as seen by looking into terminals \( a \) and \( b \). Take \( I = 4 \, \text{A} \).**

**Circuit Diagram:**
- The circuit includes a current source \( I \) supplying 4 A.
- A series connection of two 6 Ω resistors and one 4 Ω resistor is present.
- Terminals \( a \) and \( b \) are at the ends of the series connection to analyze for equivalent circuits.

**Equivalents to Determine:**
- **Thevenin Equivalent:**
  - The value of \( R_{TH} \) is \(\_\_\_\_\) Ω.
  - The value of \( V_{TH} \) is \(\_\_\_\_\) V.
  
- **Norton Equivalent:**
  - The value of \( R_{N} \) is \(\_\_\_\_\) Ω.
  - The value of \( I_{N} \) is \(\_\_\_\_\) A.

---

**Instructions:**
- Fill in the blanks with calculated values step by step.
- Apply suitable circuit theorems or laws such as Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, etc. to find the equivalent values.
- Confirm units are consistent when inputting values for resistance, voltage, and current.
