======================= Q1: (Thevenin): RL, in the circuit shown in Fig. 1 is not known. See Fig. 1. The bottom node of the circuit is the reference node. No Source Transformation Please. A. Find the Thevenin equivalent circuit ( th and Rth) seen from the load perspective in Fig 1. (6 marks) B. Calculate the value of R for maximum power transfer. Determine the maximum power absorbed by R. (2 marks)

Fig. 1: (Thevenin Equivalent Circuit) ======================= Q2: (Source Transformation): RL, in the circuit shown in Fig. 2 is not known. See Fig. 2. Find the Thevenin equivalent circuit ( th and Rth) seen from the load perspective in Fig. 2 using source transformations. A. Show steps involved in source transformations and create a simple circuit. B. Use Voltage and/or Current divider or Ohms laws to get vo. (6marks) (2 marks)
