HW #2 Solutions E245B

Problem 2.10
Find I1 and I 2 in the circuit shown. I3 = 5 mA IS I1 I6 = 3 mA I2

I4 = 6 mA

Suggested Solution
By KCL, I1 = I 4 = 6 mA

Also, I 6 + I 2 = I 4 or 0.003 + I 2 = 0.006 I 2 = 3 mA

Problem 2.14
Find I x , I y and I z in the network shown.

3 mA 12 mA

Ix

Iy 4 mA Iz 2 mA

Suggested Solution

3 mA 12 mA

Ix

Iy 4 mA Iz 2 mA

I x + 0.003 = 0.012

I x = 9 mA
I y + 0.012 + 0.002 = 0.004 I y = 10 mA I z + 0.004 = 0.002

I z = 2 mA

Problem 2.25
Find Vx in the circuit shown.

2 k 24 V 5 k

+ Vx _

6V

2 k

Suggested Solution

Using voltage division,

5000 Vx = ( 24 6 ) = 10 V 2000 5000 2000 + +

Problem 2.34
Find I o in the network shown.

3 k Io 12 mA 2 k

6 k 4 k

Suggested Solution
Combining the 3-k and 6-k resistors in parallel yields the following equivalent circuit.
I1 2 k 12 mA 2 k 4 k

4000 I1 = ( 0.012 ) = 6 mA 4000 + ( 2000 + 2000 ) Then,

6000 Io = I1 = 4 mA 6000 + 3000

Problem 2.50
Find I1 in the circuit shown.

2 k 12 mA 10 k

2 k 2 k

I1 2 k

Suggested Solution
The circuit can be simplified as follows:
I2 2 k 12 mA 10 k

2 k ( 2 k+2 k) =

4 k 3

10000 ( 0.012 ) = 9 mA Then, I 2 = 10000 + 2000 + 4000 3

2000 and I1 = ( 9 mA ) = 3 mA 2000 + ( 2000 + 2000 )
