4.6 NODAL ANALYSIS OF CIRCUITS CONTAINING DEPENDENT VOLTAGE SOURCES

A dependent voltage source can appear in three positions in a circuit. It may appear from a node to the reference node. Secondly, it may appear between two nodes where more than two elements are incident. Thirdly, it may appear in series with some resistor. The following example shows a circuit that has a dependent voltage source in series with a resistor.

EXAMPLE: 4.6-1

Solve the circuit in Fig. 4.6-1(a).

SOLUTION

Step-1: Look for independent voltage sources and dependent voltage sources in series with resistors and apply source transformation to such combinations.
