Question
Download Solution PDFDetermine the voltages at the node 'a' and node 'b' in the given network.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFKirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL):
This law is also known as the junction rule or current law (KCL). According to it the algebraic sum of currents meeting at a junction is zero i.e. Σ i = 0.
Calculation:
The given circuit is
There are two nodes a and b
The current flow through the 2 Ω Resistor is the sum of the current source Iba = 4 A
At node b
Vb - Va = 8 ------(1)
At node a
By substituting 1 in 2
we get
Va = 3 V, Vb = 11 V
