**Problem 5-5: Thevenin Equivalent Circuit Analysis**

For the circuit depicted in Figure P5-5, apply a series of source transformations to identify the Thevenin equivalent concerning the terminals connected to the load resistor \( R_L \). Utilizing this Thevenin equivalent, plot the following as functions of \( R_L \):

- \( I_L \) (load current)
- \( V_L \) (load voltage)
- \( P_L \) (load power)

These should be plotted for a range of load resistances satisfying \( 0.1R_{Th} \leq R_L \leq 10R_{Th} \).

**Circuit Description:**

- **Voltage Sources:**
  - A 20V source is connected with its positive terminal linked to a 10Ω resistor.
  - A 6V source is connected with its positive terminal facing a 3Ω resistor.
  - An 8V source is connected in parallel with a 5Ω resistor and a 2A current source.
  - A 2V source with its negative terminal connected to the circuit ground.

- **Current Sources:**
  - A 1A source is positioned between two 8Ω resistors.
  - A 2A source is parallel with an 8V source and a 5Ω resistor.
  - Another 2A current source is in series with a 4Ω resistor.
  - A 1A source is in parallel with a 4Ω resistor.

- **Resistors:**
  - There are resistors of 10Ω, 9Ω, 8Ω, 3Ω, 6Ω, and 4Ω placed at various points in the circuit.
  - The load resistor \( R_L \) is where \( I_L \) and \( V_L \) are measured.

**Circuit Analysis:**

- Utilize source transformation techniques (converting between voltage and current sources, adjusting parallel and series component combinations) to simplify the circuit to a single voltage source and series resistance.
  
- Determine the Thevenin resistance \( R_{Th} \) and Thevenin voltage \( V_{Th} \) from the simplified circuit.

- With the Thevenin equivalent, calculate the load current \( I_L \), voltage across the load \( V_L \), and power \( P_L = I_L^2 \cdot R_L \).
