**Finding the Norton Equivalent Circuit for the Given Circuit at Terminals a-b**

To determine the Norton equivalent circuit for the given electrical network, follow these steps:

1. **Original Circuit Explanation:** The original circuit consists of 
   - A 10V voltage source, 
   - A 4A current source, 
   - Three resistors with values of 3Ω, 3Ω, and 6Ω.
   - Notable connection points are terminals a and b.

2. **Resistor Placement:** 
   - The first 3Ω resistor is directly connected to the 10V voltage source on its left side (top left).
   - Another 3Ω resistor is connected in series with the first 3Ω resistor, positioned to the right.
   - The 6Ω resistor is parallel to this combination and is connected to terminal a and the ground (represented by terminal b).

3. **Current Source:** 
   - The circuit also includes a 4A current source placed in parallel with the voltage source and the two 3Ω resistors.

4. **Terminals:** 
   - Terminal a is located at the end of the second 3Ω resistor and before the 6Ω resistor.
   - Terminal b is connected to the ground.

To compute the Norton equivalent circuit:
   
- Determine the **Norton Current (I_N)**:
   1. Short the terminals a and b and calculate the current flowing through the short.
   2. Use mesh analysis or node voltage methods where appropriate.
   
- Find the **Norton Resistance (R_N)**:
   1. Disable all independent sources in the original circuit (replace voltage sources with short circuits and current sources with open circuits).
   2. Calculate the total resistance seen from terminals a and b.

This Norton equivalent circuit will have a current source (I_N) in parallel with a resistor (R_N) between terminals a and b. 

Be sure to follow these procedures step-by-step to find the exact values of I_N and R_N for complete analysis and resolution.
