Thevenin's Theorem states that it is possible to simplify any linear
circuit, no matter how complex, to an equivalent circuit with just a
single voltage source and series resistance connected to a load
You will get all the circuit diagrams and illustrative examples on
Thevenin's Theorem in the following article,

# Thevenin's Theorem is a way to reduce a network to an equivalent
circuit composed of a single voltage source, series resistance, and
series load.
# Steps to follow for Thevenin's Theorem:
# (1) Find the Thevenin source voltage by removing the load resistor
from the original circuit and calculating voltage across the open
connection points where the load resistor used to be.
# (2) Find the Thevenin resistance by removing all power sources in
the original circuit (voltage sources shorted and current sources
open) and calculating total resistance between the open connection
points.
# (3) Draw the Thevenin equivalent circuit, with the Thevenin voltage
source in series with the Thevenin resistance. The load resistor re-
attaches between the two open points of the equivalent circuit.
# (4) Analyze voltage and current for the load resistor following the
rules for series circuits.
