Hello. I'am practicing circuit analisis about the norton and thevenin's circuits and I can't seem to manage to get the right thevenin's voltage using the node voltage for a) resolution 1) I did source transformation turning the current source(2A) into a voltage source (10V) applied node voltage...

Hello. Can someone give m e pointers on how to find the value of vx given that it is inside a supernode(will it be the valueof the voltage inside or the difference of potential between the two nodes?): here's the exercise and what I've done so far attached. Your time and attention are deeply...

Hi! I'm trying to understand and solve this circuit by Node Voltage Method. I have to calculate u(t). In my mind, I don't have any idea if any current should go through Z1 in my calculations.

I am given that all the BJTs are the same. First of all, when finding node voltages like Vref should I make the node voltage a voltage source first and then do circuit analysis? If so then I would use KVL but that does not give me Vref = 2Vbe. I do know that Vref = Vb1 = Vb2. What am I doing...

Hello, Here's the example I'm looking at now. I am wondering if I swap ground and Node C... will this still be correct? I can see how it's more useful to have ground where it is above, but I'd still like to know if it would work for a swap of C and GND. Here's my work trying this: Does...
