- Homework Statement
- In the circuit of the figure knowing that ##V_0=10\, \textrm{V}## determine ##V_S## and the power generated by the source ##J##.
Sol: ##V_S=-4\, \textrm{V}##, ##P_J=60\, \textrm{W}##
- Relevant Equations
- Kirchoff law
Figure:
My attempt at a solution:
1st kirchoff law:
$$J=2I_0+I_0=6\, \textrm{A}$$
$$V_1+8=10\rightarrow \boxed{V_1=2}$$
$$V_1=6-V_S\rightarrow \boxed{V_S=-4\, \textrm{V}}$$
We are looking for ##P## generated in ##J##
$$V_J=V_1-2\cdot J=2-2\cdot 6=-10\, \textrm{V}$$
$$\boxed{P_{\textrm{gen}}=(V_J-0)J=-10\cdot 6=-60\, \textrm{W}}$$
Wouldn't this exercise do like this? I have tried it but the power is negative.
