Two ideal dc sources and a resistor with lengths involved

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a circuit analysis problem involving two ideal DC sources and a resistor, with a focus on how lengths affect resistance. The original poster expresses confusion about how to approach the problem, particularly regarding the inclusion of lengths in the analysis. A suggestion is made to replace the wires in the circuit with their corresponding resistances, specifically using the formulas 2x r for one side and 2x r (L-x) for the other. This approach aims to simplify the node analysis by accounting for the resistance of the circuit's components based on their lengths. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of understanding resistance in relation to physical dimensions in circuit analysis.

Ive been given an assignment with the question being question 13of the following pdf:
http://vlsi-eda.cm.nctu.edu.tw/course/ICT_12Summer/hw/HWCh4.pdf
(note this isn't my actual assignment i just found this one on the internet that happened to be the same question that i was looking for)

Im really lost, i have no idea how to even start to tackle this problem! It looks like some form of node analysis but the involvemt of lengths isn't somethingthat I've seen before. Just a few hints on how to do this would be greatly apreciated..

You just have to replace the wires in the circuit with their corresponding resistance. That is, 2x r x on the left hand side and 2x r (L-x) on the right.
