(1) Pick reference node. (2) Label nodes: 0, U,X andy. (3) Write equation for the dependent source,i S, in terms of node voltages: I S = 0.2(U X) (4) Write KCL equations: X U 10 + X 10 + X Y 20 = 0 Y X 20 +I S + Y 15 = 0 (5) Solve all three equations to findx,y andi S in terms ofu: X = 0.1U, Y = 1.5U, I S = 0.18U Note that the value ofu is assumed to be known.
