Circuits (Nodal and loop anal. finding current through branch)
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the short-circuit current (isc) in a circuit analysis problem. The correct value for isc is established as 6mA, while the user initially calculated it as 0mA. The equations used by the user are questioned, specifically the relationships between currents i1, i2, and Ix. The analysis suggests that Ix equals i2 and that the equation 2Ix = i2 - i1 is relevant for solving the problem.

That's a rather difficult image to read: sideways and illuminated through a partially open blind.Miike012 said:
Your choices for i1 & i2 are not the most convenient.
It looks to me like:
Ix = i2 = isc
and
2Ix = i2 - i1 .
