Find V0 in the network in Fig. P5.5 using linearity and the assumption that V0=1V.
from left to right:
Vs=8V, R1=3K,R2=3k,R3=3k,R4=3k in parallel with R4=3k,R5=6k, and R6=R7=3k
Assuming V0=1 = VR7 Then: IR6=IR7=1/3mA since they are on series, same current, VR7=1/3mA*3k = 1V and V36+VR7=2V
thefore: VR5 = VR4= 2V , so iR5=2v / 6K=1/3mA and IR4=2V/3k = 2/3mA
according to klc IR3 = iR4 + iR5 + IR6/7 = 4/3 mA, then VR3 = 3K * 4/3mA = 4V
and according to klv VR2 = VR3 + VR4 = 6V, then IR2 = 6V / 3k = 2mA by ohm law
and klc on first node IR1 = IR2 + IR3 = 2mA + 4/3mA = 10/3 mA
so by ohm: VR1= 10/3mA *3k = 10V, so then Vs= VR1 + VR2 = 10V + 6V = 16V
but since real Vs= 8V
then V0 = 8 / 16 = 1/2 = 0.5V,
i verified it with sumulator.
Post the discussion to improve the above solution.
