Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding expressions for voltages v1 and v2 using nodal analysis in the context of circuit analysis. Participants are addressing initial equations and transformations related to circuit components, particularly focusing on the treatment of a current source and resistors.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents initial equations for v1 and v2 but expresses uncertainty about the treatment of the current source and a 2Ω resistor in series.
  • Another participant suggests that the 2Ω resistor does not affect the current from the V2 node and advises to ignore it in the nodal analysis.
  • A participant questions their expression for v2 and proposes a new formulation, indicating a correction in their understanding of capacitor impedance transformation.
  • There is a confirmation from another participant that the revised expression for v2 appears correct.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the treatment of the 2Ω resistor in relation to the current source, though there is agreement on the correction of the capacitor impedance transformation.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the circuit configuration and the treatment of components may not be fully articulated, leading to potential misunderstandings in the equations presented.

Okay i need to find expressions for v1 and v2 and I am using nodal analysis:

these are not the final the equations just initial equations by first look


I am good finding expression for v1,
(2/s)-(v1/1)-((v1-v2)/(2/s)) = 0

Where i am stuck is with the current source and 2 ohm res. in series

For v2,
((v1-v2)/(2/s))-(v2/2s)-(v2/2)-(5/s) = 0 this is my derivation that I am unsure of

the reason i think this is wrong for v2 is in my head i see instead of v2/2 - 5/s i see something like ((v2-v)/2)-(5/s)? where v is voltage between current source and res

Can anyone help me understand where I am right or wrong thanks

**BTW see attachment for circuit**

For nodal analysis you're only concerned with summing the currents. The 2Ω resistor in series with the 5u(t) current source is not going to alter that current that it pulls from the V2 node. So ignore the resistor!

FYI, your entries for the capacitor impedance look a bit off. 1/(s*200 mF) should yield something like 5/s.
 
so would v2 be:

((v1-v2)/(5/s)) - v2/2s - 5/s?

my mistake on the cap transformation it is 5/s which is equal to 1/0.2s my bad

That looks fine :smile:
