• The law of conservation of electric charge requires that the algebraic sum of electric charges at
the node must not change; that is, the node stores no net charge. Thus,
qTotal(t) = 0 → iT(t) = 0, confirming the validity of KCL.
• For the node shown beside, 𝑖1 + (−𝑖2 ) + 𝑖3 + 𝑖4 + (−𝑖5 ) = 0
𝑜𝑟, 𝑖1 + 𝑖3 + 𝑖4 = 𝑖2 + 𝑖5

Example 2
(i) Find i1, i2, and i3 (ii) Find i1, i2
𝑉𝑥 = 10 + 10 × 25 + 2𝑉0 = 24 𝑉
𝑝 = − 24 × 2𝑉0 = 571.2 𝑊
Current through the series resistances = 25 + 2𝑉0
According to the Ohm's law, The power is positive, hence, the dependent
source is actually absorbing power. This is true
𝑉0 = −10 × 25 + 2𝑉0 as V0 is negative, the current 2V0 is actually
𝑉0 = −11.9 𝑉 flowing in the opposite direction.
Ans: V = - 15 V; I = 5.25 A.
