Q: Determine the voltage V0 .
Solution: We need to determine the voltage V0 . The circuit may be redrawn like
Here through the circuit
I1 = 2mA
For mesh 2
4k (I2 -I3) + 2k (I2 - I1) = 6
4kI2 - 4kI3 +2kI2 - 2kI1 = 6
6k I2 - 4kI3 - 4 =6
6kI2 - 4kI3 = 10
For mesh 3
6kI3 + 2k (I3 - I1) +4k (I3 - I2) = 0
6kI3 + 2kI3 - 2kI1 + 4kI3 - 4kI2=0
12kI3 - 4kI2 - 4 = 0
12kI3 - 4kI2 = 4
By solving equations of mesh2 & mesh3
24kI2 - 16kI3 = 40
-24kI2 + 72kI3 = 24
56kI3 = 64
I3 = 1.142mA
Now to calculate VO
V0 =6kI3
= 6k x 1.142mA =6.85 V
