Find the voltage across the current source and the current passing through the voltage source.

Assume that

Solution
is in series with the current source; therefore, the same current passing through it as the current source:
![]()
and the voltage across
can be found by Ohm’s law:
![]()
To find the voltage across the current source, KVL can be applied around the left hand side loop:

The direction does not matter and would not change the result.
![]()
.
and
are also in series and their equivalent is ![]()

is parallel with the voltage source. This means that its voltage is equal to the voltage of the voltage source.
![]()
Now, using the Ohm’s law, the current passing through
can be calculated:
![]()
To find the current of the voltage source, we can apply KCL at one of the nodes:

![]()
![]()
Now, you tell me below what the power of each sources are?
