Homework Equations
KVL/KCL
The Attempt at a Solution
i1=i2
Vx (the voltage at the middle node)
i2 = Vi/R1 = i1
i3 = Vx/R2
Vx = Vi + i2*R4
KCL at middle node:
i2 + i3 = i4.
Vo = Vx + i4(R3)
substituting things in, in place of the currents.
Vo = Vi + i2(R4) + i4(R3)
Vo = Vi + (Vi/R1)(R4) + i4(R3)
i4 = i2+i3.
i4 = Vi/R1 + (Vi + (Vi/R1)*R4)/R2
Vo = Vi + (Vi/R1)(R4) + (Vi/R1 + (Vi + (Vi/R1)*R4)/R2) (R3)
Vo/Vin = (1/R1) + (R3/R1) + [R3 + (R4*R3)/R1]/R2
But the answer is apparently
((R1+R4)*(R2+R3)+R2*R3)/(R1*R2)
is there some Flaw in my reasoning? or have i just made a calcualtion/algebra error?
