b) Using Nodal Analysis, find the current through the 10Ω resistor in the figure shown below: (Unit 1)
A circuit for nodal analysis. The left branch has a 4-ohm and 5-ohm resistor in series with a 15V source. The middle branch has an 8-ohm resistor. The right branch has a 4-ohm resistor in series with a 10V source. A 10-ohm resistor connects the top nodes (A and B) of the left and middle branches.


Q.2

a) Find the value of current in branch AB using the Superposition Theorem. Refer to the circuit below: (Unit 1)
