How Accurate are My Loop Analysis Equations and Calculated Voltage?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the accuracy of loop analysis equations and the calculated voltage V0 in a circuit analysis problem. The user has defined four loops and derived equations based on Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), ultimately calculating V0 as 4.71V. Feedback suggests verifying the current source value between loops 1 and 2, indicating a potential error in the setup. The accuracy of the loop equations and the final voltage calculation is in question, prompting requests for further clarification or additional work. Ensuring correct current values is crucial for validating the results.

Homework Equations



KVL

The Attempt at a Solution



I called the top left loop i1, the top right loop i2, the bottom right loop i3, and the bottom left loop i4. I have all of these currents going clockwise in my work. An attempt to do loop analysis has left me with the following equations:

i4=(2Vx)/(1K)
i1-i2=8mA
i3=-4mA
-i2(4kΩ)=Vx

Upon solving for V0, I got V0=4.71V. Is this answer correct? If not, are my loop equations correct?

Please let me know if you guys want to see more work. Thanks!

Check the value of the current source between loops 1 and 2.
