Combining the constraint equation with the loop equations, one gets
16 I 1 − 2 I 2 = 5 ;− 2 I 1 + 17 I 2 =− 10 (I 1 −I 2 ), or 8 I 1 + 7 I 2 = 0
from which
I 1 = 35 / 128 A; I 2 =− 5 / 16 A
Thus, the current through the 5-V source isI=I 1 = 35 / 128 = 0 .273 A, and the
voltage across the 5-resistor isV= 5 I 2 = 5 (− 5 / 16 )=− 1 .563 V.
(b) Node-Voltage Method: The 5-V voltage source with its 10-series resistor is replaced
by its Norton equivalent. Resistances are converted into conductances and the circuit is
redrawn in Figure E2.2.5(c) with the nodes shown.
The nodal equations are

C: − 0. 1 VB+( 0. 1 + 0. 2 )VC=− 0. 5 V 1
