The discussion focuses on using nodal analysis to determine the open-circuit voltage (v,oc) in a circuit with two node voltages, v,1 and v,2. The user encounters a parallel resistor combination of 1.1 kΩ and 2.3 kΩ while applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at node voltage v,2. It is confirmed that combining these parallel resistors into a single equivalent resistor is valid for simplifying the analysis. This approach streamlines the calculation process in nodal analysis.

I'm trying to determine v,oc using nodal analysis. I have labeled the two node voltages at the top v,1 and v,2. When doing the KCL equation for node voltage 2, I run into the 1.1 kohm and 2.3 kohm parallel combination. Is it valid if I just combine these parallel resistors into one resistor?
