Question
Please answer all parts please. Thank you so much
**Problem 2: Thevenin’s Equivalent Circuit**

### Original Circuit Diagram
- A circuit is shown with various components: 
  - A 250Ω resistor
  - A 500Ω resistor
  - A 400Ω resistor
  - A 300Ω resistor
  - Two voltage sources (20V and 10V)

### Thevenin’s Equivalent Resistance:

**Step 1** – Short circuit all voltage sources, replacing them with a wire.

**Step 2** – Open circuit all current sources, removing the connection.

### Simplified Circuit Diagrams

**Diagram 1:**
- Components shown:
  - Resistors of 250Ω, 300Ω, 400Ω, and 500Ω
  - Terminals marked as A and B

### Resistor Arrangements

- Combine series resistors: 
  - 400Ω + 250Ω = 650Ω 
  - 300Ω + 200Ω = 500Ω (but note this is short-circuited)

**Diagram 2:**
- Simplified to 650Ω and 500Ω resistors
- Short circuit segment highlighted between the 300Ω and 200Ω combination

### Analysis
In the modified circuit:
- The series combination of 300Ω and 200Ω is short-circuited by a wire. 
- A wire with zero resistance ensures no current passes through the 500Ω resistor.

### Final Resistor Arrangement

**Diagram 3:**
- Resistors arranged as:
  - 650Ω in series with 500Ω
  - Parallel with 300Ω

### Thevenin Equivalent Resistance
- Calculated as \([650Ω \parallel 500Ω] + 300Ω\).

This step-by-step analysis provides the Thevenin equivalent resistance for the given circuit.

**Thevenin’s Equivalent Voltage \( V_{th} \):**

**Circuit Diagram Overview:**

The diagram presents a circuit with the following components and configuration:

- **Resistors:**
  - 250Ω (between A1 and top node of the 400Ω resistor)
  - 300Ω (between node A and a floating node on the right side)
  - 400Ω (in parallel with the 20V source)
  - 500Ω (between node C and node A)
  - 300Ω (below the 400Ω resistor)
  - 200Ω (connected between node B1 and node B)

- **Voltage Sources:**
  - 20V in series with the 400Ω resistor
  - 10V source connected directly across node C and B1

**Current Flow:**
- The current \( i_1 \) flows through the 500Ω resistor.

**Analysis**:
- Since the 300Ω resistor at the right is open at one end, no current flows through it. Hence, the voltage at nodes A and B is the same as at nodes A1 and B1.
  
- **Highlighted Equation:**
  - The voltage between B1 and A1 is given by the equation:
    \[
    \text{Voltage between A1 and B1} = (\text{Voltage between A1 and C}) + (\text{Voltage between C and B1})
    \]

- The voltage between node C and B1 is 10V, as it is directly connected to a 10V source.

- To find the voltage across the 500Ω resistor, apply the mesh law with the current \( i_1 \):
  \[
  V_{500} = 500 \times i_1
  \]

- Substitute values in the highlighted equation to determine \( V_{th} \) across nodes A and B.
