# Mutual Inductance - Mesh analysis

I'm desperately trying to figure out this problem with ZERO luck.

I'm thinking its either my mesh equations or my calculating Vo after I obtain I2.

Mesh1 I get: 1*J1 + j6*J1 + j2*J2 = 10 angle 0
Mesh2 I get: j2*J1 + j4*J2 + 4*J2 - j3*J2 = 0

In Matrix(scilab input format, cuz I dont know how to do a matrix here)
a=[ 1+6j , 2j ; 2j , 4+j ]
b=[10;0]

So then, to calculate J1 and J2, I do

c=a/det(a)
c =

0.2416534 - 0.0206677i 0.0794913 + 0.0063593i
0.0794913 + 0.0063593i 0.0524642 - 0.1558029i

d=c*b
d =

2.4165342 - 0.2066773i
0.7949126 + 0.0635930i

Now I'm stuck here, getting my J2 into Vo. I try V=IR, so
d(2,1)*-3j =

ans =

0.1907790 - 2.3847377i

Which is not Vo according to the book...

Anyone?

Your problem is that the calculation c=a/det(a) does not give the inverse of a. Doesn't Scilab have a function like c = Inv(a) or c = Inverse(a)?

The example problem I was trying to follow, had the coeffecient matrix over its determinate. ?

If you will scan or photograph the page(s) from the example you're trying to follow and post them, I'll explain what they're doing.

In the meantime, if you will substitute c = inverse(a), (or whatever the correct syntax in Scilab is) instead of c = a/det(a), you will get the correct answer.

You are absolutely correct sir. I tried it with the way I SHOULD have the entire time. and within a minute I had the correct answer. Pissed me off to no end, i spent 2 hours last nite and i dunno how long monday and sunday nites.

i did c=a\b, then d=c(2,1)*-3j and got the proper Vo

Rich (BB code):
-->a
a  =

1. + 6.i    2.i
2.i         4. + i

-->b
b  =

10.
0.

-->c=a\b
c  =

0.5246423 - 1.5580286i
- 0.7949126 - 0.0635930i

-->c(2,1)*-3*%i
ans  =

- 0.1907790 + 2.3847377i

-->
And when I convert ans into a phasor, I get the proper Vo.

Thanks.. I dunno what the example problem and I were doing.
