Superposition for dependent sources and Pspice

[gneill]

No, you want to relate Ix to the node voltage. What term wold you include in a node equation for the current in the Ix branch?

-8+3 Ix=0

 

[gneill]

-8+3 Ix=0

Isn't the 8V source removed (suppressed) at this point?

 

[DODGEVIPER13]

Oh yah good point so could it be v''=-3Ix

 

[gneill]

Oh yah good point so could it be v''=-3Ix

Yup, could be!

Heh good because I solved it out and found Ix''=-1.5 and Ix=-.5A

Yup. That's it.
