Concept

According to the KCL: at any node, the sum of all incoming currents is always equal to the sum of all outgoing currents.

F1 Engineering Arbaz 29-12-23 D5

\(I_1+I_4=I_2+I_3+I_5\)

Calculation

Assuming voltage at node A is VA

\({V_A-12\over 1}+{V_A\over 2}-3=0\)

\({2V_A-24}+{V_A}=6\)

\(V_A=10V\)

Current, \(I={V_A-12\over 1}\)

\(I={10-12\over 1}=-2A\)
