AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights issues in a nodal/mesh analysis problem, primarily focusing on the inconsistency of units, specifically mixing milliamperes (mA) with amperes (A). It emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistent units throughout the calculations. Additionally, there is a lack of clarity regarding the origin of the value "0.6" in the determination of V2, suggesting that it should be clearly defined, especially if it relates to the current through R4. Overall, the conversation stresses the need for precision and clarity in electrical analysis problems. Consistent units and clear definitions are crucial for accurate problem-solving in nodal/mesh analysis.

You're making a mess by mixing mA with A. Stick to consistent units & you'll be OK.
 
In your determination of V2 you haven't specified where the "0.6" comes from. If it's from figuring the current through R4 then make sure you've accounted for the units used.
