b. The node equation solution is referred to as the circuit diagram of Figure 2.16. The
node equation for node a shown in Figure 2.16 is given below while the reference
node is a’ (grounded).

c. The voltage source transformation into a current source is shown by the circuit
diagram of Figures 2.17 and 2.18, where fi rst the transformation is illustrated
(Figure 2.17), followed by the currents’ source combinations (Figure 2.18).
