By applying loop analysis at first loop.

15 = 68i'+ 30(i'+i").
15 = 98i'+ 30i".

Now at second loop:

8 = 100i"+30*(i'+i").
8 = 30i'+130i".

After calculation:

i' = 0.145.
i" = 0.028.

So total current in 30 ohm resistance.

i' + i".

0.145 + 0.028.

= 173 mA.

By appling mesh analysis

15=68i'+ 30(i'-i")
15=98i'-30i"

Now at second battery

-8=100i"+30*(i'-i")
-8=-30i'+130i"

After calculation

i'=.145
i"= -.028

So total current in 30 ohm resistance

i' - i"

0.145 - (-0.028)

= 0.173 A or

= 173 mA.

((va-12)/49)+(va/24)+((va-6)/80) = 0.
((va-12)(1920)+(va)(3920)+(va-6)(1176))/94080 = 0.

va(7016)-30096 = 0.
va = 30096/7016.
va = 4.28.

Please review previous question. Why nodal equation differs? Can any one explain?

Apply nodal analysis for the circuit. After getting Va value, we can find current at 30 ohm.res

(15-VA)/68 - (VA-0)/30 - (VA-8)/100 = 0.

VA = 5.169.

R2 = VA/30.

R2 = 5.169/30.

R2 = 173 mA.

@Shinghal.

Your working is right but take note that the current through 30 ohms is the sum of the current that emanate from the two cell and not the difference.

Applying kvl to the circuit,

((v-15)/68)+(v/30)+((v-8)/100).
On solving above expression we get 5.171v.

Current at R2= 5.17/30=0.172 amps.
172 milli amps.

Applying kcl at node A and taking node B as refrence:

(15-va)/68-va/30-(va-8)/100=0

va=5.1689v;

Ir2=va/30=5.1689/30=0.172A=172mA;

The answer must me same irrespective of method we acquire but I did't get answer using mesh analysis.

Can you please elaborate the solution so that I can understand. Thanks.
