Nodal Analysis Review Requested: Help Matt Out!

AI Thread Summary
Matt is seeking help to verify his application of nodal analysis on a circuit problem. He provides calculations for current flow at node A, including values for i1, i2, and i3, and asks if these make sense. Additionally, he suggests checking the voltage at node A against expected results from a voltage divider in the circuit. The discussion focuses on ensuring the accuracy of these calculations and interpretations. Participants are encouraged to review and confirm the correctness of Matt's approach.

Homework Statement



Im tring to apply nodal analysis on the following, and would like to know if i have done this correctly. Can someone please review it.

Thank you for your time.

Let's see

Strategy I checking currents flow at node a make sense:

i1 = 1.33/5 = 0.266
i2 = (1.33-3)/1 = -1.67
i3 = (1.33-4*1.08)/5 = -0.598

Does that make sense?

Note: I plugged your final numbers, I might have misinterpreted what your numbers represent but just wanted to show how you verify your solution.
Strategy II checking if voltages make sense:
If the voltage at node a is vA
and does v0 same as you would get if you apply voltage divider on the most left branch?
