Answer» The node equation for node 1 is V1(1 + 1 + 1/0.5) - V2/0.5 - 15/1 = 0 or 4V1 - 2V2 = 15 Similarly, for node 2, we have V1(1 + 1/2 + 1/0.5) - V2/0.5 - 20/1 = 0 or 4V1 − 7V2 = − 40 ...(ii) ∴ V2 = 11 volt and V1 = 37/4 volt Now, I1 = (15 - 37/4)/I = 23/4A = 5.75A; I2 = (11 - 37/4)/0.5 = 3.5A I4 = 5.75 + 3.5 = 9.25A, I3 = (20 - 11)/1 = 9A; I5 = 9 - 3.5 = 5.5A The passive elements of the network are its five resistances. Total power consumed by them is = 5.752 × 1 + 3.52 × 0.5 + 92 × 1 + 9.252 × 1 + 5.52 × 2 = 266.25 |
