I=V/R
=21/150
=0.14
V=I * R
= 0.14 * 47+27
= 10.36
is approximately near to 10.48

Ok then answer is 10.48v, if we want to measure voltage at point A, and point C, then which method have to use? Can you explain me?

Let B = voltage at node B.

(9-B)/(47k+27k) = (B-12)/(56k+20k).
B = 10.48A.

Equate them in their current because they are in series.

From KVL,
I(R1+R2+R3+R4)+12-9 = 0.

150I = 3
I = 0.02A.

THEREFORE,

Vb = 12-I(R3+R4) Vb=voltage drop at B.

Vb = 12-0.02(56+20).

Vb = 0.02(76).

Vb = 10.48V.

In the circuit the voltages are connected in reverse
Net voltage:
v=12-9 = 3;

Net resistance R = 27+47+20+56 = 150.
CURRENT I = 3/150=0.02AMPS.

Voltage at B = (47+27)0.02+9.
= 1.48+9..
= 10.48VOLTS

This is what I worked out

Where did I go wrong?

Rt = 1000(47+27+57+20) = 150000

Vs1 at a = (47/150)9V = 2.82V
Vs1 at b = ((47+27)/150)9V = 4.44V
Vs1 at c = ((47+27+56)/150)9V = 7.8V
Vs1 at d = (150/150)9V = 9V

Vs2 at c = (20/150)12V = 1.6V
Vs2 at b = ((20+56)/150)12V = 6.08V
Vs2 at a = ((20+56+27)/150)12V = 8.24

Vs2 - Vs1 = 3V
Vs1 - Vs2 = -3V
Vs1 + Vs2 = 21V

Vs1 + Vs2 at b = 10.52?

If we have to find the voltage at point c then voltages 9v and 12v are added/or subtract?

By using Superposition theorem we can solve this.

I got the correct answer as 10.5.

What's superposition theorem?

Poor mar said:   2 years ago
Use Millman's Theorem:

This is used to find the voltage across parallel branches with different voltage sources.
Vb = (9+73K)+(12+76K)/(1/73K)+(1/76K).
