Question
**Objective: Find the Norton Equivalent**

**Circuit Description:**

- **Voltage Source:**
  - A 16V voltage source is positioned to the left, connected in a loop.

- **Resistors:**
  - **4Ω Resistor:** Situated immediately after the voltage source, in series.
  - **4Ω Resistor:** Positioned on the right branch, in series with the dependent current source.
  - **2Ω Resistor:** Connected vertically in a branch below the dependent source, carrying a current denoted as \( i_x \).

- **Dependent Current Source:**
  - The current source is depicted as \( 4i_x \), where it is dependent on the current through the 2Ω resistor (\( i_x \)).

**Connection Points:**
- The nodes labeled \( a \) and \( b \) serve as terminals for the Norton equivalent circuit output.

**Analysis Goals:**
- To determine the Norton equivalent of the given circuit between terminals \( a \) and \( b \), which involves calculating the Norton current (\( I_N \)) and Norton resistance (\( R_N \)).
