I have some experience in solving Thevenin with Voltage source, but not with current source.
Any idea?
thanks and regards,

A Thevenin equivalent circuit is a simplified representation of a complex electrical network, consisting of a single voltage source and a single resistance. It is used to analyze the behavior of a circuit and make calculations without having to consider the details of the entire network.
To calculate a Thevenin equivalent circuit, the original circuit is disconnected from its load, and the equivalent resistance is calculated by shorting all voltage sources and opening all current sources. The open-circuit voltage is then measured between the two terminals, and this voltage and equivalent resistance are used to create the Thevenin equivalent circuit.
The purpose of a Thevenin equivalent circuit is to simplify complex electrical networks and make calculations easier. It is often used in circuit analysis and design, as well as in troubleshooting and testing circuits.
A Thevenin equivalent circuit is only accurate for linear circuits, meaning that the relationship between voltage and current must be constant. It also assumes that the network is unchanging and that there are no time-varying elements present.
A Thevenin equivalent circuit is based on voltage sources, while a Norton equivalent circuit is based on current sources. Additionally, a Thevenin equivalent circuit has a voltage source in series with a resistance, while a Norton equivalent circuit has a current source in parallel with a resistance.
