Finding Current and Voltage in a multi loop circuits

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating current in resistors and voltage at point Vx in multi-loop circuits using Kirchhoff's rules. The user successfully determined the currents but is uncertain about the correct formula for Vx. Two potential equations for Vx are proposed: Vx = 1k(I8) and Vx = 6k(I3) + 2.5k(I4) + 4k(I6). The conversation highlights the importance of understanding circuit analysis techniques for accurate voltage calculations.

Homework Statement



1. Find the current in each resistor and voltage at point Vx


Homework Equations



Using Kirchoff's rule and system of equation I found currents but I am not quite sure how to calculate voltage at point Vx. I am pretty sure I got the currents right.

Is it Vx = 1k(I8) ?

or is it Vx = 6k(I3) + 2.5k(I4) + 4k(I6) ?

Well, I'd know what to do about the capacitor and the 2K resistor right off the bat ...
