Nodal Analysis Quiz Solutions for EEE 205

The document is a quiz question asking to use nodal analysis to find the node voltages (V1, V2, V3) in a circuit. It provides the circuit diagram and component values. The solution sets up two KCL equations at nodes V2 and V3. By manipulating and combining the equations, it determines the node voltages are V1=32V, V2=13V, and V3=12V. It verifies the solution satisfies KCL at each node.

EEE 205 Fundamentals of Electrical Circuits 2012/2013

Quiz 1 (Gr 01 & Gr 02)


6 Nov 2012

Quiz 1

Find the node voltages V1, V2, and V3 for the circuit given below using nodal analysis.
Assume that VS = 32 V; IS = 1 A; R1 = 6 Ω; R2 = 6 Ω; R3 = 1 Ω; R4 = 6 Ω
R1 R3
V1 I1 V2 I3 V3

6Ω I2 1Ω I4
VS IS
32 V R2 6Ω R4 6Ω 1A

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Solution:
The connection of the voltage source implies: V1 = VS = 32 V.
KCL at the node of V2: I1 = I2 + I3 =>
32 − V V − V V
= +
6 1 6
32 − V = 6 (V − V + V
Then
32 = 8 V − 6 V (1)
KCL at the node of V3: I3 + IS = I4 =>
V −V V
+1=
1 6
6 (V − V + 6 = V
Hence
6= −6V +7V (2)
Multiplying both sides of (1) by 4 and multiplying both sides of (2) by 3, it is obtained that:
96 = 24 V − 18 V (1’)
24 = − 24 V + 28 V (2’)
---- ------------------------
120 = 10 V
From here, it is obtained that
V = 12 V
Substituting V3 = 12 V in (1),
32 = 8 V − 72
V = = 13 V
Check:
I = A, I = A, I = = 1 A => I1 = I2 + I3 is satisfied.
I = = 1 A, I = = 2 A, I = 1 A => I1 = I2 + I3 is satisfied.
