\(R_{thevenin}\equiv\frac{V_{OC}}{I_{SC}}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}\)

\(V_{load}=\frac{R_{load}}{R_{load}+R_{thev}}V_{OC}\)

\(V_{th}=V_0\frac{\left(R_2+R_3\right)}{\left(R_1+R_2+R_3\right)}\) - page 16 Eggleston chapter 1

So for this problem we need to find the R value of the 2K and 6K resistor in parallel = 1.5K. This means that there is a 6 volt drop across the 3K resistor and a 3V drop across the two other.

I want to learn more about arduinos for research purposes. 

David or Dave is fine
