Q: Determine the value of voltage V0 .
Solution: We need to calculate the voltage V0 . The circuit may be redrawn like
By applying KVL equation for mesh 1
Va + 4k(I1 - I2) =12
Va +4kI1 - 4kI2 =12
By applying KVL equation for mesh 2
4Va +6kI2 + 4k(I2 - I1)=0
4Va +10kI2 - 4kI1 =0
Here from the circuit
Va =2kI1
By putting Va value in the equation of mesh 1 we will obtain
2kI1 + 4kI1 - 4kI2 =12
6kI1 - 4kI2 =12
Afterwards putting the value of Va in the equation of mesh 2
8kI1 + 10kI2 - 4kI1 = 0
4kI1 + 10kI2 = 0
Now by multiplying modified equation of mesh 1 by 1.5 & by subtracting modified equation of mesh 2 from modified equation of mesh 1
6kI1 - 4kI2 = 12
- 6kI1 - 15kI2= 0
- 19kI2 =12
I2 = -12/19 =0.6315 mA
Now V0 = 6k x .6315
V0 = 3.78 V
