39. You and your lab partner have built the circuit shown in Figure 1.56. The three resistors, R1, R2
and R3 all have resistances of 1 k2, while the two voltage sources have 5 V and 3 V (as shown).
The circuit has two output terminals, A and B. Answer the following questions about the circuit.
(NOTE: The orientation of the voltage sources is important.) (a) What is the voltage drop across

R3? (b) What is the current flowing through R1? (c) Sketch the Thévenin equivalent circuit as
seen looking into the terminals A and B. What is the Thévenin voltage, Vth, of the circuit?
(d) What is the power supplied by the two voltage sources? (e) In order to safely determine the
Thévenin resistance of your circuit, you connect a fourth resistor, R4 = 1 k2, between A and B.
Using your trusty yellow DVM, you measure a potential difference across R4 to be 0.4 V. Using
