KCL

The Attempt at a Solution

At node a: 6= io + Is
At node b: Is= io/4 + I8

Couldn't go much further.

two things to note:

1.)a and b can be considered the same node as their voltage is the same.

2.)Also for calculating values such as I8 and Io, remember ohms law. V=IR
try to use that relationship to finish your equation.

 

[JasonHathaway]

Vo=I8*8, Vo=Io*2 --> Vo=Vo, I8*8=Io*2 --> I8=Io/4?

 

[berkeman]

Vo=I8*8, Vo=Io*2 --> Vo=Vo, I8*8=Io*2 --> I8=Io/4?

So now you can solve for Io and Vo...
