Solving Circuit Analysis with Nodal Analysis - Help Needed!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around using nodal analysis to solve a circuit, with the user struggling to obtain correct voltage values for nodes v1, v2, and v3. The equations set up for each node are shared, but the user is not achieving the expected results. Responses indicate that the user may be confusing conductance with resistance and suggests revising the equations to include missing components, specifically the term 3i_0 in the equation for node 3. The advice emphasizes ensuring all elements are accurately represented in the nodal equations. Properly addressing these issues should lead to correct voltage calculations.

Hey guys. I have attached a circuit that i am trying to analyse using nodal analysis.
This is how i am doing it:

at node 2:
(v2-v1)/1 + v2/4 + (v2-v3)/1 = 0

at node 3:

(v3-v2)/1 + v3/2 = 4A

at node 1:

v1/25 = 2A

but i am not getting the right results for v1, v2 and v3.

Can anyone point out what i am doing wrong?

thanks

Looks like you are given conductance of the resistors rather the resistance in ohms.
 
i have asked about that and it is suppose to be ohm not s
 
If your node 3 is at v_3, then where 3i_0 is in the equation?For the node 3, I would write the equation like 3i_0+4A=(v_3-v_2/1s)+v_3/2s. I think you may have missed the 3i_0 in your equation.
