All voltages of the voltage sources, the currents of the current sources and the values of the resistors are given.
IS1 VS2 IS
R 4
R 2 VS
R 1
R 3
V 2
V 1
a) (7 pts) Does the current source I (^) S1 have impact on voltages V 1 and V 2? Justify your answer. (Hint: You do not need to solve the rest of the problem to do this part!!)
Is1 does not impact V1 and V2 since it is in parallel with Vs3 and thus has the same voltage as Vs3. Also if one sets Is1 to 0 then it is clearly seen that it has no effect.
b) (12 pts) Write KCL equation for node 1.
Is3-(V1—Vs2)/R1-V1/R2-(V1-V3)/R4=
c) (6 pts) Consider the two terminals surrounding VS4 a super node. Write a KCL equation for the branch connecting R 4 , R 3 and V (^) S4. -(V3-V1)/R4-V2/R3=

d) (8 points) Solve for VB and i 2. Hint: both should be integers. If they are not, go back and check your work. Combining b and c 2(i2)-6=8(i2)+ 6(i2)=- I2=-2 A Plugging this back into c) you get: vb=-10 V
e) (5 points) Determine the value of i (^) 3. Using Current Divider equation: I3=(i2)(12/(12+24)) I3=-2/3 A

Let Vb=0, Vab=Va (25-Va)/5+3=Va/ 8=Va (1/5+1/20)=Va (1/4)
Va=Vab=32 V
Thevenin Resistance Voltage source is short, current source is open.
