In summary, finding the current in a circuit is important for understanding the flow of electricity, determining power and efficiency, and troubleshooting potential issues. The difference between I2, I1, and I4 lies in the specific branches or paths of the circuit where current flows. To calculate the current, Ohm's law can be used (I = V/R). It is important to find the current in specific branches for troubleshooting and identifying potential issues, as well as determining overall performance and making necessary adjustments. Factors such as voltage source, resistance, and circuit configuration can affect the current in a circuit.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I got everything right except in Q4 matrix (second equation 2nd and 3d slots)

my supernode equation is
I got this equation. Going clockwise
= -12+75(I1-I3)+14(I2-I3)+49(I4)=0
3048 = 75I1 + 14 I2 + 49I4

can anyone see what am i doing wrong

What happened to the 34V source that follows the 39 Ohm resistor in the loop?
 

FAQ: How to Correctly Solve the Circuit with Supernode Equations?

What is the purpose of finding current in a circuit?

Finding the current in a circuit is important for understanding the flow of electricity and how different components of the circuit are affected by it. It can also help in determining the power and efficiency of the circuit.

What is the difference between I2, I1, and I4?

I2, I1, and I4 are different branches or paths of the circuit where current flows. Each branch may have a different amount of current depending on the resistance and voltage in that specific branch.

How do I calculate the current in a circuit?

To calculate the current in a circuit, you can use Ohm's law, which states that current (I) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R). This can be represented as I = V/R.

Why is it important to find the current in specific branches of a circuit?

Finding the current in specific branches of a circuit is important for troubleshooting and identifying any potential issues. It can also help in determining the overall performance of the circuit and making necessary adjustments.

What factors can affect the current in a circuit?

The current in a circuit can be affected by factors such as the voltage source, resistance of the components, and the configuration of the circuit. Changes in any of these factors can result in a change in the current in the circuit.
