Solution Summary

The solution discusses the thevenin's voltage and equivalent resistance in regards to DC circuits.

Solution Preview

Please see the attached file.

To find the Thevenin voltage the load (between a and b) is removed and then we have to find the voltage between points a and b.

To find the voltage between a and b we have to find the current in the 12Ω resistance. The same circuit can be drawn in this way
or

The 12 Ω and 8 Ω resistances are in series and this series with equvivalent of 12 + 8 = 20 Ω and

This is in parallel with 5 Ω ...
