Using node voltage analysis determine the currents ia and ib
Using node voltage analysis, determine the currents i_a and i_b in the circuit shown here.
Solution
apply nodal analysis at node \"a\"
1=va/2+(va-vb)/10
va[1/2+1/10]+vb[-1/10]=1
apply nodal analysis at node \'b\'
3=vb/3+(vb-va)/10
va(-1/10)+vb[1/3+1/10]=3
from the above equations
va=2.933 volts
vb=7.6 volts
ia=va/2=2.933/2=1.4665 amps
ib=vb/3=7.6/3=2.533 amps
