Q: Determine the current I0 & the voltage V0.
Solution: We need to calculate the current I0 and the voltage V0. The circuit may be redrawn like
By applying KVL to mesh 1
2kI1 +6k(I1 - I2 )= 12
8kI1 - 6kI2 = 12
By applying KVL at mesh 2
8kI2 + 4kI2 + 6k (I2 - I1) = 0
18kI2 - 6kI1 = 0
By solving out equations of mesh 1 & mesh 2
24kI1 - 18kI2 = 36
-24kI1 + 72kI2 = 0
54kI2 = 36
I2 = 36/54k
I2= 0.67mA ------------(1)
V0 will be equivalent to
V0 = 4k I2
Put the value of I2 from equation (1) we get
V0= 2.66 V
