SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving the formal matrix of node potentials in an electrical circuit with four nodes. The key solution involves recognizing that the potential at the upper-right connection dot is 2V. Participants suggest replacing resistor branches from right to left with equivalent current sources to simplify the analysis. This method effectively streamlines the problem-solving process for electrical circuits.

You can solve the formal matrix of node potentials. Only 4 nodes here.
Or you can come to answer (D) noticing what the potential at upper-right connection dot is 2V, and replacing resistor branches from right to left by equivalent current sources.
