    Let the current I is flowing in 2Ω resistor

    From figure

    I2Ω =
    20
    = 10A
    2

    Current in branch AB: By applying current divison rule.
    IAB = I2Ω ×
    5
    = 10 ×
    5
    = 5 A
    5 + 510

    The voltage across terminal A and B = IAB × RAB
    = 5 × 5 = 25 V
    Thus 5Ω resistor connected between the terminals A and B can be replaced by an ideal voltage source of 25V with positive terminal upward.
