Question
  • By hand, use the node-voltage method to solve for the current through each of the three resistors in the circuit to the right.
The diagram depicted above is an electrical circuit featuring several components:

1. **Current Source**: A 3-ampere current source is connected on the left side of the circuit. The current direction is indicated with an upward arrow.

2. **Resistors**: 
   - A 200-ohm resistor is connected in parallel with the current source.
   - A 10-ohm resistor is also connected in the circuit, located in series with a voltage-controlled current source.

3. **Dependent Source**: A voltage-controlled current source (depicted as a diamond shape) is labeled as \(5i_{\Delta}\), indicating that the current it supplies is five times \(i_{\Delta}\).

4. **Resistor and Current Direction**: There is a 20-ohm resistor present on the top right branch of the circuit. The direction of current through this resistor is marked as \(i_{\Delta}\), moving from left to right.

5. **Voltage Source**: An 80-volt independent voltage source is connected in series with the 20-ohm resistor, with the positive terminal on the left.

This arrangement forms a complex circuit comprising independent and dependent sources, necessitating careful analysis to determine variables such as node voltages or branch currents.
