Analyze the circuit below using Loop Analysis and solve for
Analyze the circuit below using Loop Analysis and solve for all of the currents and voltages below. Write the system of equations obtained and the final answers in the boxes provided.
3 1 IA 4 13 12 V 3 ASolution
from the circuit IC= 3 AMPS
apply kvl to loop current IB.
-12+1(IB-IA)+14(IB-3)-4=0
-IA+15IB=58
apply kvl to loop current IC.
3IA+4(IA-3)+1(IA-IB)=0
8IA-IB=12
from the above equations
IA=2 AMPS
IB=4 AMPS
I1=IA= 2 AMPS
I2=IB-IA=4-2=2 AMPS
I3=IC-IA=3-2=1 AMPS
I4=IB-IC=4-3=1 AMPS
V1=3*IA=3*2=6 VOLTS
V2=1*I2=1*2=2 VOLTS
V3=4*I3=4*1=4 VOLTS
V4=14*I4=14*1=14 VOLTS.
