**Problem 5-1: Thevenin Equivalent Determination**

**Objective:** Determine the Thevenin equivalent of the given network with respect to the terminals \(a\) and \(b\).

**Circuit Description:**

- **Voltage Source:** 20V is connected in series with a 2kΩ resistor.
- **Resistors:**
  - 8kΩ connected in the top branch between the nodes.
  - 1kΩ connected in series after the 8kΩ resistor towards terminal \(a\).
  - 4kΩ connected in parallel with a 10mA current source.
  - 1.5kΩ connected in series between the node and terminal \(a\).
- **Current Source:** A 10mA current source is in parallel with the 4kΩ resistor.

**Note on Sign Conventions:**

- **Open-Circuit Voltage (\(V_{OC}\))** is defined as the open-circuit value of \(V_{ab}\).
- **Short-Circuit Current** is the current flowing from \(a\) to \(b\) in a wire connected between these two terminals.

**Task:** Analyze this circuit to find the Thevenin voltage and resistance as seen from the terminals \(a\) and \(b\).
