Q: Calculate the value of current Io through the 10k ohm resistor also determine V1 & V2.
Solution:
I0= V1/10k ..................(A)
Here V1 is the voltage for node 1. We need to calculate the node voltages.
Therefore, at node 1
((V1- V2)/10k) + (V1/10k) = 4mA
(V1/10k) + (V1/10k) - (V2/10k) = 4mA
Put the value of I0 in equation
I0 + I0 - (V2/10k) = 4mA // V1= 10 I0
2 I0 - (V2/10k) = 4mA
20 I0 -V2 =40mA .........(B)
Now at node 2
(V2/10k) + ((V2 - V1)/10k) = -2I0
(V2/10k) + (V2/10k) - (V1/10k) = -2I0
(V2/10k)+ (V2/10k) - I0 = -2I0
2V2 + 10I0 = 0 .........(C)
Equating equations of node 1 & 2
40 I0 - 2V2 = 80mA
10 I0 + 2V2 = 0
50 I0 = 80mA
Thus, I0 = 8/5 mA
Therefore, putting the value of I0 in equation (A)
I0 = (V1/10k)
8/5 mA = (V1/10k)
V1 = 16 volts
put the value of I0 from (A) to (C) we get
2V2 + V1 =0
2V2 =-V1
V2 = -16/2 = -8 V
