a)Write the nodal equations and determine the potential values(voltages) of V1,V2 and V3 with respect to the ground b) Determine the current flowing through the resistor R2 c) Calculate the power at the resistor R3 and state either power is absorbed or dissipated
KVL and KCL
KVL stands for Kirchhoff voltage law. KVL states that the total voltage drops around the loop in any closed electric circuit is equal to the sum of total voltage drop in the same closed loop.
Sign Convention
Science and technology incorporate some ideas and techniques of their own to understand a system skilfully and easily. These techniques are called conventions. For example: Sign conventions of mirrors are used to understand the phenomenon of reflection and refraction in an easier way.
