SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating voltages and currents at points A, B, and C in a circuit using established electrical engineering principles. The user initially attempted to apply the superposition theorem but encountered issues due to the presence of a voltage source, which prevented a closed circuit. The recommended approach involves utilizing Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to accurately determine the voltages and currents at the specified points.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
  • Familiarity with Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
  • Basic knowledge of circuit analysis techniques
  • Proficiency in using the superposition theorem
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) in detail
  • Learn Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) applications
  • Explore advanced circuit analysis techniques
  • Review the superposition theorem for circuits with multiple sources
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone involved in circuit analysis and troubleshooting will benefit from this discussion.

I'm trying to determine the voltages and currents at points A, B and C of the attached drawing. I tried it by using the superposition theorem. Only this doesn't work with the voltage source, because the current can't "run" through the circuit, because the currentsources are than deleted, and there is no closed circuit.
My question is: what is the right way to calculate the voltages and current at the 3 points. And what are voltages and currents at the 3 points?

Thanks for your help!

Welcome to Physics Forums.

To start, can you say what the voltage at B is, as well as the currents at A and C?

For the rest, try using Kirchhoff's Current Law and Voltage Law (KCL and KVL) for the circuit.
