Homework Equations

:
Node Voltage Analysis

The Attempt at a Solution

:
For Node #1:

V_{1} = 6 V


For Node #4:

V_{4} = 16 V


For Node #2:

\frac{V_{2}-V_{3}}{3300} + \frac{V_{2}}{1000} + \frac{V_{2}-6}{1500} = 0

0.00197V_{2} - 0.000303V_{3}= 0.004 --> equation 1


For Node #3:

\frac{V_{3}-V_{2}}{3300} + \frac{V_{3}}{4700} + \frac{V_{3}-16}{2200} = 0

-0.000303V_{2}+0.00097V_{3} = 0.007273

V_{3}= 0.3124V_{2} + 7.4979 --> equation 2


Solve for V_{2} by substituting V_{3} into equation 1:

0.00197V_{2}-0.000303(0.3124V_{2} + 7.4979) = 0.004

0.001875V_{2} - 0.006272 = 0

V_{2} = 3.3451 V


Solve for V_{3} by substituting V_{2} into equation 2:

V_{3}= 0.3124(3.3451) + 7.4979

V_{3} = 8.5428 V

I mainly just wanted to know if my equations were right, I think that I've done it correctly, but at the same time I'm not sure, haha. Thank you in advance!

Hi ohdrayray, welcome to Physics Forums.

Your formulae and methodology are fine. The results are good to two decimal places.
