How Do Dependent Sources Affect Voltage and Power Calculations in Circuits?

In summary, the answer key for an exam from 2001 states that for question 10, the answer is that a 10mA current source in parallel with a resistor and dependent current source delivers 100uW. For question 11, the answer is that a 60-ohm resistor in a single big loop dissipates 15 W. The poster is confused about how these numbers were obtained and is seeking guidance.

The answer key states for no. 10 the answer is
Voltage out in circuit with dependent source is -2 V.and for no. 11 is
60-ohms resistor in single big loop dissipates 15 W

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



Problem is how do they get these numbers, the question seems to be really simple... can someone guide me

The answer key states for no. 10 the answer is
10mA current source (in parallel with R and dep current source) delivers 100uW

and for no. 11 is
60-ohms resistor in single big loop dissipates 15 W

I fixed it now.

For no. 10, my guess is that v0 is 0.04V, as 10mA has to equal to the dependent source which is 0.25v0. Is this true?

For no. 11, p = v^2/R, so why isn't it just 100^2/60

Related to How Do Dependent Sources Affect Voltage and Power Calculations in Circuits?

What is current and how is it measured?

Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit. It is measured in amperes (A) using an ammeter.

What is voltage and how is it measured?

Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit. It is measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter.

What is power and how is it calculated?

Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or used. It is calculated by multiplying the current (I) by the voltage (V), or by using the formula P = VI.

What is the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance?

According to Ohm's Law, current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. This means that as voltage increases, current increases, and as resistance increases, current decreases.

How do current, voltage, and power impact the performance of electronic devices?

Current, voltage, and power play a crucial role in the performance and functionality of electronic devices. Too much current or voltage can cause damage to the device, while insufficient power can result in the device not functioning properly. Therefore, it is important to have a proper understanding and control of these parameters when working with electronic devices.
