I'm struggling with analyzing this circuit:
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
\$R_1 = 5\Omega\$
\$R_2 = 5\Omega\$
\$R_3 = 2.5\Omega\$
\$R_4 = 5\Omega\$
Voltage source = 5 V
The task is to determine the Thevenin equivalent (Vth and Rth) between a and b respectively (black boxes). I'm not sure how to approach this question. Could anyone help me to get started?

The best way to solve these examples is usually by using source transformations.
This seems difficult, but with a little practice this is the quickest way.
The result is Vth=1.25V and Rth=2.5, which agrees with the result from the simulation.
