Discussion Character
- Homework-related
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant expresses confusion over their solution, which does not match the expected answer of 79.2V, and seeks assistance in identifying their mistake.
- Another participant suggests that the original poster should upload their work using a different image hosting method for better accessibility.
- A participant points out that the original poster has two equations but three unknowns, indicating that an additional equation is necessary to solve the problem correctly.
- It is noted that a supermesh is not needed for the circuit in question due to the presence of a current-controlled voltage source, which affects the equations required.
- Some participants report issues accessing the provided links to the circuit diagram, indicating a need for clearer sharing methods.
- A later reply claims to have solved the problem and confirms the answer of 79.2V, providing specific current values for the circuit components.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
There is no consensus on the correct approach to the problem, as participants express differing views on the necessity of additional equations and the use of supermesh analysis. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the original poster's specific errors.
Contextual Notes
Participants highlight limitations in the original poster's equations due to the number of unknowns versus equations. There is also a noted difficulty in accessing shared resources, which may hinder the discussion.
