SUMMARY
The calculation of current Ix using Tellegen's theorem reveals that Ix equals -2A. The equation derived from the theorem is P=VI, leading to the expression -10Ix + 15*2 + 15*-2 + 10*2 = 0. Upon solving, -10Ix equals -20, resulting in Ix being calculated as 2A. However, the correct interpretation of the signs indicates that Ix should be -2A, highlighting the importance of sign conventions in circuit analysis.
