Solve the circuit by nodal analysis and find the power of $Is_1$.

Solution
a) Choose a reference node, label node voltages:

b) Apply KCL to each node:
$V_1$ can be found by the voltage source: $V_1 = Vs_1 = 10v$.
KCL @ node 2:

$Is_1 + \frac{V_2}{R_2}+\frac{V_2-V_1} {R_4}=0$
$V_2=9.6 v$

c) Find the required value:
$P_{Is_1} = Is_1 \times V_2 = - 19.2 W$, supplying.

Hi! Yaz is here. I am passionate about learning and teaching. I try to explain every detail simultaneously with examples to ensure that students will remember them later too.

why aren't the resistors R1 and R3 contributing in this nodal analysis?
