Chapter 4 Problem 4.54

Question

Assume you have been asked to find the power dissipated in the horizontal 1 k resistor in the circuit in Fig. P4.54. a) Which method of circuit analysis would you recommend? Explain why. b) Use your recommended method of analysis to find the power dissipated in the horizontal 1 k resistor. c) Would you change your recommendation if the problem had been to find the power developed by the 10 mA current source? Explain. d) Find the power delivered by the 10 mA current source. Figure P4.54

Solution

Step 1 of 4

(a)

To find the power dissipated by the  resistor, the recommended method will be voltage analysis.

The diagram is redrawn below,

There are four nodes in the circuit, in which the 4th node is taken as reference.

By finding the voltages at nodes 2 and 3 using nodal analysis, the power dissipated by  the resistor can be easily calculated.
