Question

Use the node-voltage method to find the voltages shown, v1, v2, and v3.

**Node-Voltage Method Circuit Analysis**

The diagram presented is a circuit schematic for applying the node-voltage method to find the voltages \( v_1 \), \( v_2 \), and \( v_3 \).

**Circuit Components and Layout:**

1. **Voltage Source:**
   - A 40 V voltage source is present on the left side of the circuit.

2. **Resistors:**
   - A 12 Ω resistor is connected parallel to the 40 V source.
   - A 25 Ω resistor connects nodes \( v_1 \) and \( v_3 \).
   - A 20 Ω resistor connects nodes \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \).
   - A 40 Ω resistor connects nodes \( v_2 \) and \( v_3 \).

3. **Current Sources:**
   - A 5 A current source is connected upwards between the nodes \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \).
   - A 7.5 A current source is connected downward between node \( v_2 \) and the ground (node \( v_3 \)).

4. **Nodes:**
   - The circuit has three nodes where voltages need to be calculated:
     - **Node \( v_1 \):** Connected to the 12 Ω, 25 Ω, and 20 Ω resistors.
     - **Node \( v_2 \):** Connected to the 20 Ω, 40 Ω resistors and the current sources.
     - **Node \( v_3 \):** Serves as the reference node (ground) and is connected to the 25 Ω and 40 Ω resistors.

**Objective:**
To find the node voltages \( v_1 \), \( v_2 \), and \( v_3 \) using the node-voltage method. The problem requires understanding the topology and applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at each node.
