Q: Determine the value of current Io.
Solution: we have to calculate the current I0. The circuit may be redrawn like
Here from the circuit
I1 = 2mA
I2 = - 4mA
By applying KVL for loop 3
2kI3 + 1k (I3 - I2) + 2k(I3 + I1 - I2) =12
2kI3 -1kI2 + 1kI3 + 2kI3 +2kI1 - 2kI2=12
5kI3 -3kI2 + 2kI1= 12
5kI3 + 12 + 4 = 12
5kI3= - 4
I3 = - 4/5 = .8mA
Now from the circuit
I0 = I3 + I1- I2
= -.8 +2 +4 //put the value in equation
I0 = 5.2 mA
