Question
In the figure shown, the current (in ampere) is __________
Correct answer
-1.05 to -0.95
Solution
Take the bottom wire as ground. The left vertical wire and the right wire carrying both join the bottom wire, so the left node and the right node (below the right source) are both at .Top node : the right source ( at top) sits between and the right node, so .Centre node : connections are up to , left to ground, right to ground, and the source ( at ) in series with to ground. KCL:KCL at : leaves through the current source (its arrow points left, away from ), and leaves through the top . So the current leaving downward through the source is , i.e. flows up through it.KCL at the right node: coming in are from through the right and from the source, soAnswer:
