The new circuit is pic.1

What do I need to do with this two branches?OH!It's not R2.It's R3

One of the wires is redundant. You can't have less resistance than no resistance!
Remove one of them and solve for the net resistance across a-b.

Okay. Now put this Thevenin resistance in series with the Thevenin voltage source that you calculated before. That should be your final circuit, the Thevenin Equivalent for the original.
 


The final circuit is...
E=U=1.6 V
Rn=0.875 Ohms

Yes. Be sure that you pay attention to the polarity of the voltage source. Remember that you found a negative value for E, making point a negative with respect to b.

I need to change the direction of E?
But E>0 because I3>0 & R3>0.

One of the tasks is done(I don't sure in this tense form)(another task is node potential method(only 2 nodes in the circuit so I try to make on my own(with rare success)).Thanks for your help.
