Hi,
I have this "simple" circuit that contains a constant current source, resistor, and a current-controlled voltage source.
I decided to use a mesh analysis.
And my mesh equations
Ia = Iin (1)
(Ix - Ia)*R1 - V + Ix*R2 = 0 (2)
(Ix - Iin)*R1 - p * (Ix - Iin) + Ix*R2 = 0
Ix = (Iin (p - R1))/(p - R1 - R2)
And the values are Iin = 4mA; R1 = 1kΩ; R2 = 500Ω; p = 1kΩ
And the problem begins when I set R2 to 0Ω. And try to find Ix current. And I don't get any solution at all. Why is that?
It seems that "right" answer is Ix = Iin = 4mA (R2 = 0Ω). Maybe I'm misinterpreting this.
What do you think about it?
