**Determining Thevenin’s Equivalent for Maximum Power Transfer**

For the circuit depicted, we aim to calculate:
- The Thevenin’s Equivalent Voltage \( V_{th} \)
- The Thevenin’s Equivalent Resistance across \( R \)

Additionally, we need to establish the optimal \( R \) value for maximum power transfer.

**Circuit Description:**

The circuit consists of:
- A voltage source \( E_1 = 18 \, V \)
- A resistor \( R_1 = 3 \, \Omega \)
- A second resistor \( R_2 = 8 \, \Omega \)
- A second voltage source \( E_2 = 12 \, V \)
- Resistor \( R \) connected in between the junctions of \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \)

The circuit forms a loop with \( E_1 \), \( R_1 \), \( R \), \( R_2 \), and \( E_2 \). 

**Objectives:**
1. Calculate \( V_{th} \) by determining the open-circuit voltage across \( R \).
2. Determine the Thevenin resistance by deactivating the voltage sources and calculating the equivalent resistance across \( R \).
3. Find the value of \( R \) for which maximum power is transferred, equating \( R \) to Thevenin’s equivalent resistance.

This analysis is pivotal in optimizing the load for maximum efficiency in power transfer scenarios.
