AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a first-year electrical engineering student seeking help with nodal analysis for a specific problem involving voltages across 2k and 5k resistors. The student is struggling to apply Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and is unsure how to express the voltages correctly. Forum members emphasize the importance of showing attempts before asking for assistance and suggest applying KCL at the top node to set up the equations. They encourage the student to clarify their approach and provide a step-by-step explanation. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenges of learning nodal analysis and the collaborative effort to solve circuit problems.

Homework Statement



Im a first electrical eng student learning nodal analysis.I require help with a specific problem from fundementals of electric circuits.Please explain step by step as i am new to this.Please see the attachment for the problems.
I am finding it hard to express the voltages across the 2k and 5k resistors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!.Thanks in advance!

Hello akshay! Welcome to PF!
The forum rules says that the OP needs to show his/her attempt before asking for help on the problem.
Did you try to apply KCL or KVL? There is even a shorter method too to solve this problem.
 
ive tried applying it but can't seem to understand how to get the voltage across the 2k and 5k resistors please help!.Im begging.
 
i think u take the node at the top and maybe the top equals vo
so at the node so you have (vo-30)/2k+(vo-20)/5k+vo/4k
or something like that, I am not really sure I am a first year engineering student too :)
 
eg Apply KCL at the top node.
