Q: Compute the value of V0 & I0.
Answer:
Node 2 & 3 constitute a super node Constraint equation is
V2 - V3 = 6 ..........(1)
Applying KCL equation at super node
((V2-12)/6k) + (V2/3k) + (V3 /6k) + ((V3 -12)/12k) =0
(V2/6k) + (V2/3k) +(V3 /12k) + (V3 /6k) - (12/12k) - (12/6k) = 0
(V2/2k) + (V3 /4k) - (12/4k) =0
2V2 +V3 - 12 = 0
2V2 + V3 = 12 ---- (2)
Now value of V3 from constraint equation (1) is
V3 =V2 -6
Put the value of V3 in equation (2)
The super node equation will becomes
2V2 +V2 -6 =12
3V2 = 18
V2 =18/3 = 6 Volts
Put this value in super node equation
V3 =0
So,
Vo =0
I0 = V2/3k
=6/3k
=2mA
