Engineering Complex number help (AC circuit)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on using the supernode technique to determine the current I0 in an AC circuit. The user has set up equations based on nodal analysis, defining essential nodes V1 and V2. They have derived relationships between these voltages but are struggling to isolate V1 or V2 for further analysis. The circuit's configuration involves series-connected branches, suggesting that impedance combinations may simplify the process. Assistance is requested to effectively isolate the voltages for solving the circuit.

Homework Statement




Use the supernode technique to find I0 in the circuit






Homework Equations



nodal analysis, AC analysis


The Attempt at a Solution



Taking the left essential node as V1 and the right essential node as V2,


V1 + 12V = V2

and

-V1/(1-1j)Ω + -V1 / 2Ω = V2 / 2jΩ + V2 / (2+2j)Ω


Then

(-2ΩV1 - 1ΩV1 + 1jΩV1)/(2-2j)Ω = 2ΩV2 + 4ΩjV2/(-2+4j)Ω


And sorry to say, but need help in knowing the best way to isolate v1 or v2 from here...

For nodal analysis using the supernode technique, there's really only one node in this circuit: the supernode itself. All the other nodes are embedded in series-connected branches wherein you can simply combine the impedances.
