What is the correct interpretation of this circuit?

Click For Summary
In the discussion about the circuit interpretation, the placement of Vo in relation to the 15-ohm resistor is clarified. It is emphasized that Vo must be positioned to the left of the resistor to ensure accurate results, unlike its placement in diagram (a). The necessity of having a parallel impedance to the current source for transformation is highlighted. The conversation confirms that understanding the circuit's layout is crucial for correct analysis. Overall, the placement of Vo directly impacts the circuit's functionality and output.

My question:

1) In diagram (b), is there a reason why Vo is to the left of 15 ohm resistor and not to the right? (which wouldn't produce the same answer) cf. diagram (a)

It might be a minor point but I'd like to know the specific reason

Thanks

Does this help?

You have to have a parallel impedence to the current source to transform.
Working from right to left this is the 15 ohm resistor.

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
