Question 1

Find the Thevenin equivalent looking into terminals a-b of the circuit in
Figure 1 and solve for ix.

Figure 1

Question 2

A transducer is modeled with a current source Is and a parallel resistance Rs.

The current at the terminals of the source is measured to be 9.975 mA when
an ammeter with an internal resistance of 20 is used.

a) If adding a 2-k resistor across the source terminals causes the

ammeter reading to fall to 9.876 mA, calculate Is and Rs.
b) What will the ammeter reading be if the resistance between the source
terminals is changed to 4 k?

Question 3

Apply source transformation to find Vx in the circuit of figure 2
