Homework Statement

http://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/interconnection-fig-p25-valid-find-total-power-developed-circuit-interconnection-valid-exp-q22345911

It asks if the circuit is valid, which I assume it is.
It asks for the power developed[/B]

Homework Equations

I tried to do KCL in the 4 loops, but i am confused with the middle node. I assume that the 10v will have a current of 1, for the middle node to equal 0. I did a KCL in the upper left loop and got -13 and on the upper right loop I got -17. I am not sure what i am doing wrong to get the power developed. the lower loops confuse me. Help!

Check KVL around the outside path.

Check KVL around the outside path.

but there is no resistances, and V=iR? The voltage outside the path do not equate to 0, so is the circuit invalid?

Sum the potential changes around the closed loop and draw your own conclusion

Edit: I should have been more clear. Sum the potential changes around the outer loop.

aaa so starting from the lower right node, it would be 8+6-4-12=-2, so invalid?

Right.
