For the circuit shown in figure, find the current through the resistance R connected between points a and b by Thevenin’s theorem.

Explanation:
Finding Thevenin equivalent circuit
For
, short circuit all independent voltage sources.

The resistances 5Ω and 15Ω can be combined in parallel as,

The network then simplifies to a form shown,

Hence, 
For 

Applying KVL in upper loop,

--------------(1)
Applying KVL in lower loop

--------------(2)
Solving equation 1 & 2
, 

Using KVL



So, thevenin equivalent circuit will look like as shown,
So the current through resistor ‘R’
