Engineering Maxwell's mesh analysis dc circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a mesh analysis problem in a DC circuit, specifically finding the value of the current source B (CSB) and the current I. The mesh equations set up include Ia, Ib, Ic, Id, and Ie, with specific values derived for Ic (2 A) and Id (-4 A). A point of confusion arises regarding the representation of CSA, questioning whether it indicates a voltage or the current produced by the source. The participant expresses difficulty in progressing further with the solution due to this ambiguity. Clarification on the nature of CSA is necessary for accurate analysis and problem-solving.

Homework Statement



Find the value of CSB(current source B) and determine the value of I.

Homework Equations



Mesh equations


The Attempt at a Solution



mesh:

a -> Ia = 0
b -> 11Ib = -12
c -> 6Ic = 12
d -> 2Id = -8
e -> Ie = -CSB

Ic = 2 A
Id = -4 A

then I cannot further continue this one... :(

Your diagram indicates CSA = 8V, but isn't it a current source? Or is this supposed to represent the voltage that the current source happens to be producing in order to maintain its (unspecified) current?
