2) In the figure, R = 10 ohms. Replace the 9 ohm resistor at the bottom by a wire. Use MNA to determine the current flowing from right to left through that wire, in amps. Note: In this problem, you may only submit numerical answers. (i.e., if 4 is the correct answer, 4 will be marked as correct, but 2+2 will be marked as incorrect.) The current flowing from right to left through that wire is ….. A

3) What would be the reading, in ohms, of an ohmmeter connected between A and B in the figure (all values are in ohms), when R=13 ohms? Also, what would be the reading if the ohmmeter is connected between C and B instead? Note: In this problem, you may only submit numerical answers. (i.e., if 4 is the correct answer, 4 will be marked as correct, but 2+2 will be marked as incorrect.)

(a) How much higher, in volts, is node (3) than node (2)? (b) What is the power in the current source, in watts? Report this power as positive if the source absorbs power, etc. Note: In this problem, you may only submit numerical answers.

5) All resistances are 8 ohms, with the exception of the three resistors in series with the three sources (whose values are also given in ohms). The current source at the top has a value of 17 amps. If you connect nodes (2) and (3) with a wire, what current flows through that wire from (2) to (3), in amps? Note: In this problem, you may only submit numerical answers.

The application of Modified Nodal Analysis (MNA) to solve complex electrical circuits enables detailed and accurate determination of node voltages and branch currents in systems with multiple sources and resistors. This method simplifies circuit analysis by transforming circuit equations into a manageable matrix form, particularly effective when dealing with large-scale circuits or multiple voltage/current sources.

In the first scenario, the circuit involves a set of resistors and a 7 A current source. Using MNA, we formulate the node equations by assigning voltages at each node with respect to a reference. The resistors' known values and the current source provide the boundary conditions necessary for solving the system of equations. Computing these yields the voltage at the nodes, from which the power supplied or absorbed by the source can be deduced. Specifically, power is calculated as the product of the source current and the voltage across it, with positive indicating power absorption.

Similarly, replacing the 9 ohm resistor with a wire (effectively a short circuit) alters the circuit topology, directly impacting the current flow. Utilizing MNA, the current flowing from right to left through this wire can be determined by establishing the node voltages and applying Ohm’s law to the short circuit connection. The resulting current measurement indicates the direction and magnitude of current flow, critical for circuit safety assessments and verifying the analysis.

For the third problem, resistance values influence the equivalent resistance measurement between specific nodes, which can be calculated by combining resistances in series and parallel configurations derived from circuit topology. Connecting an ohmmeter between nodes A and B, or C and B, and calculating the equivalent resistance provides insight into the circuit's effective impedance. The various configurations require applying fundamental resistance combination rules systematically to achieve precise readings.

In the fourth scenario, a set of resistors all valued at 19 ohms, paired with a 22 A current source, creates a specific voltage distribution across nodes. By applying KVL and KCL through MNA, one can find the potential difference between nodes (3) and (2). The power calculation in the current source involves the product of the current and the voltage difference, with positive indicating power absorption or delivery to the circuit. This analysis underscores the importance of understanding energy transfer within circuit components.

The fifth analysis involves connecting nodes (2) and (3) with a wire, and calculating the current flow through the wire when all resistances are specified as 8 ohms in series with sources. Using node voltages derived from MNA, the current through the connecting wire is computed via Ohm’s law based on the voltage difference across the directly connected nodes. Such analysis is crucial for understanding current redistribution and ensuring circuit integrity and safety.
