Iin   1mA
2k
Pdelivered by the source  Vs I in  20 mW
20m
Vs   20 V
1m
v8  I in 8k  1m  8k  8 V
KVL around the left loop:
Vs  2  v15  v8  0
v15  20  2  8  10 V

Using Ohm’s Law:

v15 10
i15   mA
15k 15

KCL at node a yields:

10 5 1
Iin  i15  iR  iR  I in  i15  1    mA
15 15 3

KVL around the right loop:

v15  vR  0  vR  v15  10V

Therefore
