Problem 2

Find V0 and the power supplied by 8 V voltage source in the circuit of Fig. P2.
a) Using Nodal Analysis.
b) Using Mesh Analysis.

FIGURE P2

a) Nodal Analysis

KCL at V0 :

Multiply both sides by 6 yields:
2V0 V0 12 12 24
V0 8V

b) Mesh Analysis

There is a current source between mesh I and mesh III. These two meshes constitutes
a SUPERMESH.

Problem 3

Find ib for the circuit shown in Fig. P3 using the superposition principle.

FIGURE P3

0.5 A Current source is active, 10 V voltage source is diactive.

Since i 0, then ib 0.5A

10 V voltage source is active and 0.5 A Current source is .
