Homework Statement


|----------|
|+ |+
CS VS
|- |-
|----------|

The current source is pointed downwards and is 2A while the VS is 12V
They are asking for the power supplied by each source.

Homework Equations


V=ir
KCL
KVL
P=Vi,i^2R,V^2/R

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not sure how to begin this problem. My initial instincts tells me to simply use P=Vi so that the power supplied by the VS is 24W while the CS is -24W but I'm not sure if this is correct.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Edit: VS in the picture should be on the far right side of the "circuit"

Yes, it's correct.
