6. Given the source connections shown.
Determine the actual power delivered or
absorbed by each source.
Solution: IX = 0.8×20 = 16 A. Current in 20 V
source is 6 A in the direction of a voltage
rise. Voltage across dependent voltage
source is 0.5×16 = 8 V. Voltage across
2/5
dependent current source is 20 – 8 = 12 V. It follows that:
Power delivered by 20 V source is 20×6 = 120 W
Power delivered by 10 A source is 20×10 = 200 W
Power absorbed by dependent current source is 12×16 = 192 W
Power absorbed by dependent voltage source is 8×16 = 128 W

Going CW around the

4 – 6(I1 + 1.5) + 22(I2 –
1.5) = 0
The two equations
reduce to:
3I1 – 2I2 = -1
-3I1 + 11I2 = 19
This gives: I1 = 1 A; I2 = 2 A. Hence,
Voltage across 12 Ω resistor: 12 V
Voltage across 6 Ω resistor: 15 V
Voltage across 8 Ω resistor: 16 V
Voltage across 22 Ω resistor: 11 V
VSRC = 27 V
ISRC = 3 A.

Solution: The 1 Ω Y is paralleled with a 3 Ω Δ,
so that it effectively becomes a 0.5 Ω Y, and the
circuit reduces to that shown. The resistance
seen by the current source is 1||1 + 2.5 = 3 Ω,
so that the power dissipated in the circuit is P =

2. Determine the power delivered by
the 3 V source, assuming ρ = 2 V/A.
Solution: The upper node is at 5 V with
respect to the lowest node, the middle
node is at 3 V. hence, Ix = 0.5 A and the
current in the 6 Ω resistor is also 0.5 A.
The current supplied by the 3 V source
is (3 – 0.5ρ)/2 and the power delivered by the source is P = 1.5(3 – 0.5ρ) = 4.5 – 0.75ρ

6. Determine the power absorbed or
delivered by the dependent source
assuming R = 1 Ω.
Solution: The current in the 2 Ω resistor is
2Ix flowing downwards. From KVL in the
mesh on the left, 10 = 4Ix + 2, or Ix = 2 A.
The voltage rise Vx across the dependent
source is given by: Vx – RIx = 5, or Vx = 2R

+ 5; The power P delivered by the source is P = 2(2×R + 5).

6. Determine VO.

Solution: The 2Vx sour
A source. The current in the 2 Ω resistor is Ix.
The current in the dependent source is 5 –
2Ix, so that the current in the 1 Ω resistor is
15 – Ix. From KVL around the mesh abcd, 2I
+ 15 – Ix = 4Ix, which gives Ix = 5 A. It follows
that VO = 15 – Ix = 10 V.
