Q: Determine the value of I1 from the circuit.
Solution: We can redraw this circuit like this
By applying Constraint equation for the super node
V2 - V1 = 6Volts
By applying KCL equation for the super node
((V1 - 3)/6k) + (V1/12k) + (V2/12k)+ ((V2 +3)/12k) = 0
2V1 -6 + V2 + V1 + 3 + 2V2 = 0
3V2 + 3V1 = 3
V2 + V1 =1
By adding constraint equation and KCL equation
V2 - V1=6
V2 + V1=1
2V2 = 7
Or
V2 = 3.5volts
I1 = 3.5/6k
=35/60k =7/12 mA Ans.
