Homework Statement


For the circuit, if V2=1000i2 and i2 = 5mA, determine Vs

Circuit schematic with a voltage source Vs on the left, a block labelled V1 with reference polarity marks, a current-controlled dependent source labelled 5V1 in the middle, and a block labelled V2 on the right with current i2 shown by an arrow, all joined on a common bottom wire.

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm really stuck here for some reason and have no idea where to start. Any pointers?

KVL and KCL is in the next chapter, so I think I should be solving without those.
 
I think Kirchoff's laws are the way to go here. Perhaps your teacher intended you to read ahead and attempt the problem yourself?
