Circuit analysis on a supernode

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding the voltage value (vx) within a supernode using Kirchhoff's laws. Participants emphasize the necessity of formulating equations based on these laws to solve for vx effectively. The conversation also highlights the importance of showing preliminary work to receive more targeted assistance. Additionally, the term "m" is clarified as representing "milli" or 10^-3 in the context of electrical measurements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
  • Familiarity with supernode analysis in circuit theory
  • Basic knowledge of electrical units, specifically "milli" (10^-3)
  • Ability to formulate and solve algebraic equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Kirchhoff's laws in detail through resources like Khan Academy
  • Practice supernode analysis with various circuit examples
  • Learn how to derive equations from circuit diagrams
  • Explore electrical unit conversions, focusing on milli and other prefixes
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of circuit analysis and supernode techniques.

Homework Statement
Find Vx given:
R1 = 6kW; R2 = 6kW;
R3 = 2kW; R4 = 3kW;
VS = 5V; IS = 5mA
Relevant Equations
V=IR
Hello.
Can someone give m e pointers on how to find the value of vx given that it is inside a supernode(will it be the valueof the voltage inside or the difference of potential between the two nodes?): here's the exercise and what I've done so far attached.
Your time and attention are deeply appreciated.
Thank You.

I think you forgot to attach your work?
Anyway, you'll want to use Kirchhoff's laws to make a set of equations to solve.
Khan Academy has some good tutorials on this subject.
 
I'm missing something. What does the "m" stand for in this case?

OK, so you've got everything you need to write equations using Kirchoff, just as @DaveE said.

You HAVE to show some work before we can be any more help
