Homework Statement


This is just an example from the book.
See images.

I am not sure how they found v(cap) to be equal to 97.3 V.

Homework Equations



Nodal Analysis

The Attempt at a Solution



3 A - i(ind)/48 - i(res)/100 = v(cap)

Too many unknowns, that's why I think I'm way off base.

Your last equation has differing units in each term: amps, amps/ohms and volts. Not good.

Multiply the current source by the total effective resistance the source sees, what voltage do you get?
