Exercise 2.3: Following the node method, develop a set of simultaneous equations for the network shown
below that can be used to solve for the three unknown node voltages in the corresponding network.
Express these equations in the form

e1
G e2 = S
e3

where G is a 3 ¥ 3 matrix of conductance terms and S is a 3 ¥ 1 vector of terms involving the sources.
You need not solve the set of equations for the node voltages.
