**Find the Norton equivalent with respect to the terminals a, b for the circuit in Figure 1. Suppose that \( R = 14 \, \Omega \) and \( v_s = 87 \, \text{V} \).**

---

**Figure 1**

The circuit diagram consists of:

- A voltage source \( v_s \) with a value of 87 V.
- A resistor \( R = 14 \, \Omega \).

The circuit is structured as follows:

- Three resistors are connected: 5 Ω, 8 Ω, and 20 Ω.
- The 5 Ω resistor is connected in series with \( R = 14 \, \Omega \).
- The 8 Ω resistor is connected in parallel with the series combination of 5 Ω and 14 Ω.
- The 20 Ω resistor is connected in parallel to the other components at terminals a and b.
