To find VL and IL, we can finally reconnect RL to terminals a and b of the VTH = 24V
Thevenin equivalent circuit, as shown in Fig 1-e. Then RL is in series with
RTH and VTH. Using the voltage divider formula for the 2Ω RTH and 2Ω RL,
VL = ½ x 24V = 12V. To find IL as VL / RL, the value is 12V / 2Ω, which b
is equal to 6A. Fig1(d)
These answers of 6A for IL and 12V for VL apply to RL in both the original
circuit in Fig 1-a and the equivalent circuit in Fig 1-e. Note that the 6A IL RTH = 2Ω a
also flows through RTH.
