Solution:
0.4V1 − 0.2V2 − 0.2V3 = 4
Applying KCL to node 1 0V1 + V2 − V3 = 10

Important: All the diagrams are redrawn and solutions are prepared. While
preparing this study material most of the concepts are taken from some text books
or it may be Internet. This material is just for class room teaching to make
better understanding of the concepts on Network analysis: Not for any commercial
purpose
