To solve this problem, we need to:

1. **Find the Thevenin equivalent circuit** of the given circuit in Figure 2.
2. **Determine the value of \( R_L \)** that delivers maximum power.
3. **Calculate the maximum power delivered** to \( R_L \).

### Step 1: Thevenin Equivalent Circuit
#### 1.1. Find \( V_{th} \) (Thevenin voltage):
We need to find the open-circuit voltage across the terminals where \( R_L \) is connected.

1. The voltage source of 10V and the 1Ω resistor in series will create a voltage divider. 
2. The current source (2A) and the resistors on the right-hand side are in parallel.

We will apply Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) or Mesh analysis to solve for the voltage across the open terminals.

#### 1.2. Find \( R_{th} \) (Thevenin resistance):
We need to find the equivalent resistance seen from the terminals where \( R_L \) is connected after deactivating the independent sources:
- Deactivate the 10V voltage source (replace with a short circuit).
- Deactivate the 2A current source (replace with an open circuit).

Now, calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit seen from the open terminals.

### Step 2: Maximum Power Transfer
According to the **Maximum Power Transfer Theorem**, maximum power is delivered to \( R_L \) when \( R_L = R_{th} \).

### Step 3: Maximum Power
Once we have \( R_{th} \), the maximum power delivered to \( R_L \) can be calculated using:

\[
P_{\text{max}} = \frac{V_{th}^2}{4 R_{th}}
\]
