i've got a problem about the thevenin and Nortn models applications.
i've been given a table giving 3 outpout voltages(v1= 200v,v2= 150V,v3 = 100v) from the voltage sources with their corresponding current(I1= 0A,I2= 12A,I3=22A).
The question was to draw a V-I diagram and draw the corresponding Thevenin and Norton models, so how do i have to proceed without knowing the initial circuit so that i can see which resistances am going to short/open .

This is how i did:
as we see from that table ther resistance changes, think that it changes with some restinces that have been shorted but i can't figure it out clearly. So please help me!

The point of these simplified circuit models is that you don't need to know the details of a passive network, you can just substitute the Thevenin or Norton circuit. Then your table will define the two elements, the resistance (which causes the voltage to decrease with increasing load current) and the source value, voltage or current depending on which version. The source value is found most easily with the no load current datum.
