Tutorial 3 (Solutions)

Q1.
Apply current source transformation into voltage source:

Mesh 1:
2 I1  1( I1  I 2 )  30  0
3I1  I 2  30 ---------------(1)

Mesh 2:
 30  1( I 2  I1 )  20 I 2  2v0  48  0
 I1  21I 2  2v0  18

Note that v0  2  ( I1 )  2I1


 I1  21I 2  2(2 I1 )  18
3I1  21I 2  18 ---------------(2)

Solving (1) and (2):


I1  9.818 A
I 2  0.545 A  v0  2(11.1724)  22.3448V
v0  2( I1 )  19.636V

*Alternative solution: 3 meshes, where mesh 2 and mesh 3 form a super-mesh.

Q2.
Mesh 1:
-4I3 – 2I2 + 6I1 = 16 -------- (1)

Mesh 2:
-8I3 + 10I2 – 2I1 -10Io = 0;
Since Io = I3,
-18I3 + 10I2 – 2I1 = 0 -------- (2)

Mesh 3:
18I3 – 8I2 – 4I1 = 0 -------- (3)

(2) + (3):
2I2 – 6I1 = 0
=> I2 = 3I1 -------- (4)

Substitute (4) into (1):


-4I3 – 6I1 + 6I1 = 16
=> I3 = -4A

Substitute (4) into (3):


18I3 – 24I1 – 4I1 = 0
=> 9I3 – 14 I1 = 0
=> I1 = -36/14 = - 2.5714 A
=> I2 = 3I1 = -7.7143 A

Q3.
Mesh 1:
15  1kI1  3k ( I1  I 2 )  0
4kI1  3kI 2  15 ------------------------(1)
Super-mesh 2 & 3 (exclude current source 6mA):
3k ( I 2  I1 )  3kI 2  1kI 3  5kI 3  0
3kI1  6kI 2  6kI 3  0 ---------------(2)

Nodal involving current source 6mA:


I 2  6m  I 3 , rearrange then
I 2  I 3  6m -----------------(3)

Solving equations (1), (2) and (3):


I1  7.385mA
I 2  4.846mA
I 3  1.154mA

From the circuit:


I 0  I1  I 2
 7.385m  4.846m
 2.539mA

***Alternative solution:
Transform current source into voltage source.
