Exercise 8: Answers

Model Answer

KVL arround abca loop:

Therefore

   ...............   (1)

KVL arround acda loop:

Therefore

   ...............   (2)

KVL arround bcdb loop:

Therefore

   ...............   (3)

Now we can create a matrix with the above equations as follows:

The following matrix is the above with values substituted:

$A.\vec{X} = \vec{Y}$ → $\begin{bmatrix} 10220& -10 000 & -20 \\ -10 000& 30 000 & -5000 \\ -20 & -5000 & 6020 \end{bmatrix} . \begin{bmatrix} I_1\\ I_2 \\ I_3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -9 \\ 9 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$

Now that we have arranged equations 1; 2 & 3 into a matrix we need to get Determinants of the General matrix, and Determinants of alterations of the general matrix as follows:

Solving determinants of:

Matrix A : General matrix A from KVL equations

Matrix A1 : Genral Matrix A with Column 1 substituted by $\vec Y$ .

Matrix A2 : Genral Matrix A with Column 2 substituted by $\vec Y$ .

Matrix A3 : Genral Matrix A with Column 3 substituted by $\vec Y$ .

As follows:

Now we can use the solved determinants to arrive at solutions for Mesh Currents $I_1; I_2 and I_3$ as follows:

1. $I_1 = \frac{det A1}{det A} = -0.00086968A$

2. $I_2 = \frac{det A2}{det A} = 0.00001117A$

3. $I_3 = \frac{det A3}{det A} = 0.000006388A$

Now we can solve for the current through $R_3$ as follows:

The negative sign means that $I_{R_3}$ is flowing in the direction of $I_2$ .
