![### Solving a Thevenin Equivalent Circuit Problem
#### Problem Statement:
In the following circuit:
a) What is the \( V_{Th} \) in this circuit?
b) Find the Thevenin Equivalent Resistance from terminals a and b using a Test Source.
#### Circuit Diagram:
The diagram depicts an electrical circuit with the following components and connections:
- A 50 Ω resistor is connected in series (leftmost path).
- A 10 Ω resistor is connected in parallel with a 5 Ω resistor.
- There is a dependent current source \( 6.5 I_x \) where \( I_x \) represents the current through the 5 Ω resistor.
- The bottom right branch consists of a 25 Ω resistor.
- Terminals labeled "a" and "b" are present (with terminal "a" connected after the 12 Ω resistor in the parallel branch and terminal "b" grounded on the lower end).
\[
\begin{array}{c}
\text{a} \\
\hspace{-4mm}| \\
\hspace{-4mm}| \\
\hspace{-4mm}\rightleftarrows \, 12 \, \Omega \\
10 \, \Omega \\
\parallel \\
5 \, \Omega \\
\hspace{-6mm}\updownarrows \, 6.5 \, I_x \\
50 \, \Omega \\
\vert \\
\hspace{2mm}\text{b}
\end{array}
\]
#### Steps to Solve:
1. **Determine \( V_{Th} \):**
- Calculate the open-circuit voltage across terminals a-b.
- Use appropriate circuit analysis techniques to understand how the voltage is distributed across components.
2. **Calculate Thevenin Equivalent Resistance \( R_{Th} \):**
- Introduce a test source (voltage or current) across terminals a-b.
- Use the electrical response (current or voltage) to determine how resistances combine.
- Consider both series and parallel combinations and the effect of the dependent current source.
##### Detailed Diagram Analysis:
The circuit analysis would typically involve:
- Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
- Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
- Ohm's Law
- Techniques such as Mesh Analysis or Nodal Analysis may be deployed to simplify and solve complex networks.
