Question
**Title: Thévenin and Norton Equivalents of a Circuit Network**

**Description:**

In the given circuit, \( I_x = 8 \, \text{A} \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

A circuit diagram is shown with a current source labeled \( I_x \), supplying a current of 8 A. The circuit consists of the following resistors:

- A 2 Ω resistor is connected in series with the current source.
- A 4 Ω and a 3 Ω resistor are in parallel, forming a branch across the circuit.
- Additionally, a 6 Ω resistor is connected in series after the parallel combination of 4 Ω and 3 Ω resistors.

**Instructions:**

Use appropriate techniques to obtain both the Thévenin and Norton equivalents of the network shown.

1. **The Thévenin Equivalent:**
   - The Thévenin equivalent voltage is required in volts (V).
   - It is placed in series with an 8 Ω resistor.

2. **The Norton Equivalent:**
   - The Norton equivalent current is required in milliamps (mA).
   - It is placed in parallel with an 8 Ω resistor.

**Interactive Component:**

- Fill in the blanks with the calculated values for Thévenin and Norton equivalents.

1. The Thévenin equivalent is [_____] V in series with 8 Ω.

2. The Norton equivalent is [_____] mA in parallel with 8 Ω.
