Find voltage across a resistor using Loop Analysis

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on using Loop Analysis to find the voltage across a resistor, with a specific focus on the value V0, which was calculated to be 2V. Participants emphasize the importance of verifying answers by applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to ensure the sum of voltages around the loop equals zero. There is a concern about the fairness of relying on others to check homework answers, highlighting the need for self-verification. The conversation reflects anxiety about performance in a circuits class, given its significant impact on grades. Ultimately, the importance of understanding the material and self-checking answers is underscored.

The Attempt at a Solution



When I solved the equation for V0, I got V0=2V. Is this correct? If it's not, I'll upload my work. Thanks!

I'm not sure it's fair to have people on the internet check the correctness of so many of your answers.

You should be able to check correctness for yourself. Use your answer and determine if the sum of voltages around a loop is zero.
 
I'm sorry. I'm not really good at this circuits class and homework is a large chunk of my grade. I'm just paranoid, is all.

Sorry if verifying some answers for me has upset you; however, I feel as if me asking to double check my answers is far better than me asking to get help on these problems or asking to have someone do them for me.
