Find I in 4 Ω resistor.
Answer : Option C
Explanation :
Apply KVL to first to first loop
6i1 - 2i2 = 10
(4 + R)i2 - 2i1 - 2i3 = 0
4i3 - 2i2 = 0
but i3 = 0.5 A
2 - 2i2 = 0
∴ i2 = 1 A, 6i1 - 2 = 10
∴ i1 = 2 A, (4 + R) - 2 X 2 -1 = 0
∴ R = 1 Ω
Using Nodal analysis for loop 2
At node A,
VA - 20 + VA + VA - VB = 0
3VA - VB - 20 = 0
3VA - VB = 20 ...(i)
At node B,
2VB - 2VA + 2VB + VB = 0
5VB - 2VA = 0 ...(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 2 and (ii) by 3
6VA - 2VB = 40
- 6VA - 15VB = 0
13VB = 40
VB ≅ 3 V
∴
