Apply KCL at node a-

Va2403+  VaVb6+10=0

3VaVb=420(1)    

Apply KCL at node b-

VbVa6 +Vb30 +VbVc12=0

10Va+17Vb5Vc=0(2)

 

  • Node c is directly connected to a voltage source of 60 v. Hence, we can write voltage equation at Node c.

Vc=60V

 

  • On solving equation [I] and [II], we get-

Va=181.46V

Vb=124.39V

  • Thus,

V1=Va240=58.54V

V2=VbVc=64.39V

  • Now,
  • Current through 6 ohm resistor=VaVb6=9.51A
  • Therefore, Power absorbed by 6 ohm resistor = I2R = (9.51)2(6) = 542.64 W
