 Let the conductance be represented by g. Let all the sources be current sources. For this, a voltage-source in series with a resistor is transformed into its equivalent current source. This is done in Fig..

Observing the circuit, g11 = (1/5) + 0.6 = 0.8, g22 = 0.40 + 0.2 = 0.6 g12 = 0.2, 

Current sources : + 5 amp into ‘A’ + 5.67 amp into ‘B’

VA = 4.134/0.44 = 9.4 volts, 

VB = 5.536/0.44 = 12.6 volts. 

Current in 5-ohm resistor = (VB −VA)/5 = 0.64 amp 

Check : Apply Thevenin’s Theorem : 

VA = 10 × (10/12) = 8.333 V 

VB = (17/3) × 2.5 = 14.167 V 

VTH = 14.167 − 8.333 = 5.834 V 

RTH = 4.167 I5 = 5.834/(4.167 + 5) = 0.64 A
