Help Calculating Thevenin Resistance

In summary, After some initial confusion with the drawing, the student was able to identify the resistors in the circuit and determine that they were in series. They then used Kirchoff's voltage law to calculate the voltage drops at terminal A and B, and subtracted them to find the open circuit voltage between them. This was determined to be 4/3 V, which is also the Thevenin voltage. The student then realized they had previously found the Thevenin resistance in an earlier post, and did not need to find it again. They were able to solve the problem using the given values and the Thevenin voltage.

I see. So just for my personal knowledge, how do you find the short circuit current? Is it by using loop rules?

That is one way. Any valid circuit analysis method that gets you where you want to go is fine. Use what you're comfortable with.
