Question

I need the value of the equivalent resistance 

Using a Norton's equivalent circuit model with respect to terminals a and b in the circuit below, with R1=20Ω, R2=18Ω,  R3=13Ω, calculate the value of the equivalent resistance in the Norton model.

**Using a Norton's Equivalent Circuit Model**

With respect to terminals a and b in the circuit below, calculate the value of the equivalent resistance in the Norton model, using the following parameters:

- \( R_1 = 20\, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 18\, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 13\, \Omega \)

**Circuit Diagram Description:**

- **Components:**
  - A voltage source of 100V appears at the top of the circuit.
  - Three resistors are labeled \( R_1 \), \( R_2 \), and \( R_3 \).
  - \( R_1 \) is connected in series with the 100V source.
  - \( R_2 \) is connected in series between node a and the lower terminal of the 100V source.
  - \( R_3 \) is connected in parallel with the source.
  - There is a dependent current source labeled \( 5V_x \) pointing downward, placed between the nodes of \( R_3 \) and the parallel configuration of \( R_2 \).

- **Node Descriptions:**
  - Node a: Connects \( R_2 \) and the positive side of a potential difference \( V_x \).
  - Node b: Connects the negative side of \( V_x \).

The circuit represents a combination of series and parallel elements, along with a dependent source, used for calculating the Norton equivalent of the network across terminals a and b.
