2 Syllabus Example 4.3 Example 4.3 Problem 4.11 Problem 4.11

3 Example 4.3 See [1] Example 4.3 on p. 95 in 10 th edition Analyze a circuit with 2 voltage sources, one constant, one dependent, several resistors, and compute the currents in all branches First compute the voltages v1 in the 20 Ω and v2 in the 10 Ω resistors, using the Node- Voltage Method

4 Circuit for Example 4.3

5 Example 4.3: 2 Node-Voltages KCL in node n1 above 20 Ω: (1) (v1 - 20)/2 + v1/20 + (v1 - v2)/5=0 KCL in node n2 above 10 Ω: (2) v2/10 + (v2 - v1)/5 + (v2 - 8*iα)/2=0 Third Equation needed due to Dependent Voltage Source: (3) iα=(v1 - v2)/5

6 Example 4.3: Students Solve in Class (3) Substituted in (2) v2/10 + v2/5 - v1/5 + v2/2 – 4*(v1 - v2)/5=0... v2=v1 * 5 / 8... V1=16 V V2=10 V

7 Problem 4.11 See [1] Problem 4.11 on p. 131 in 10 th edition Analyze a circuit with 2 constant voltage sources, several resistors, and compute the currents in all branches First compute the voltages v1 in the 60 Ω, and v2 in the 80 Ω resistors, using the Node- Voltage Method
