Question

I dont really know how to get the math started on this problem.

Consider the circuit in (Figure 1). Suppose that i = 3.2 A.

Part A
Use the mesh-current method to find the total power developed in the circuit.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
▾ View Available Hint(s)
Hint 1. How to approach the problem
Use the mesh-current method to determine the currents for all the circuit elements. Then, apply
the power equation along with the passive sign convention to obtain the total power developed in
the circuit.
Hint 2. How to use the mesh-current method for a circuit with a dependent voltage source
First of all, identify the meshes of the circuit, label the corresponding mesh currents, and
determine the number of simultaneous equations needed to obtain these currents. Then, write a
KVL equation for each mesh; if the circuit contains a dependent source, write a dependent
source constraint equation that defines the controlling variable for the dependent source in terms
of the mesh currents.
Solve the obtained system of equations for unknown mesh currents. Once you know all the mesh
currents, you can directly determine the branch currents for the circuit.
