SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interpretation of circuit diagrams, specifically the placement of Vo in relation to a 15 ohm resistor in two different diagrams. The correct positioning of Vo is crucial for accurate analysis, as it directly affects the circuit's behavior. The presence of a parallel impedance to the current source is essential for transformation, with the 15 ohm resistor serving this role when analyzed from right to left. Understanding these nuances is vital for accurate circuit analysis.

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.
