1. Problem Description

The problem requires us to find the node voltages V1V_1, V2V_2, and V3V_3 in the given circuit using nodal analysis.

2. Solution Steps

We will apply Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at each node V1V_1, V2V_2, and V3V_3.
At node V1V_1:
The incoming current is 5A. The outgoing currents are V1V21\frac{V_1 - V_2}{1} and V1V31\frac{V_1 - V_3}{1}.
Applying KCL:
5=V1V21+V1V315 = \frac{V_1 - V_2}{1} + \frac{V_1 - V_3}{1}
5=V1V2+V1V35 = V_1 - V_2 + V_1 - V_3
2V1V2V3=52V_1 - V_2 - V_3 = 5 (Equation 1)
At node V2V_2:
The incoming currents are V1V21\frac{V_1 - V_2}{1} and V3V21\frac{V_3 - V_2}{1}. The outgoing current is V24\frac{V_2}{4}.
Applying KCL:
V1V21+V3V21=V24\frac{V_1 - V_2}{1} + \frac{V_3 - V_2}{1} = \frac{V_2}{4}
V1V2+V3V2=V24V_1 - V_2 + V_3 - V_2 = \frac{V_2}{4}
V12V2+V3=V24V_1 - 2V_2 + V_3 = \frac{V_2}{4}
V194V2+V3=0V_1 - \frac{9}{4}V_2 + V_3 = 0
4V19V2+4V3=04V_1 - 9V_2 + 4V_3 = 0 (Equation 2)
At node V3V_3:
The incoming current is V1V31\frac{V_1 - V_3}{1} and V2V31\frac{V_2 - V_3}{1}. The outgoing current is 10A.
Applying KCL:
V1V31+V2V31=10\frac{V_1 - V_3}{1} + \frac{V_2 - V_3}{1} = 10
V1V3+V2V3=10V_1 - V_3 + V_2 - V_3 = 10
V1+V22V3=10V_1 + V_2 - 2V_3 = 10 (Equation 3)
Now we have three equations with three unknowns:
Equation 1: 2V1V2V3=52V_1 - V_2 - V_3 = 5
Equation 2: 4V19V2+4V3=04V_1 - 9V_2 + 4V_3 = 0
Equation 3: V1+V22V3=10V_1 + V_2 - 2V_3 = 10
Multiply Equation 1 by 4:
8V14V24V3=208V_1 - 4V_2 - 4V_3 = 20 (Equation 4)
Add Equation 2 and Equation 4:
12V113V2=2012V_1 - 13V_2 = 20 (Equation 5)
Multiply Equation 3 by 4:
4V1+4V28V3=404V_1 + 4V_2 - 8V_3 = 40 (Equation 6)
Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 6:
13V212V3=40-13V_2 - 12V_3 = 40
13V2+12V3=4013V_2 + 12V_3 = -40 (Equation 7)
From Equation 1, V3=2V1V25V_3 = 2V_1 - V_2 - 5.
Substitute this into Equation 3:
V1+V22(2V1V25)=10V_1 + V_2 - 2(2V_1 - V_2 - 5) = 10
V1+V24V1+2V2+10=10V_1 + V_2 - 4V_1 + 2V_2 + 10 = 10
3V1+3V2=0-3V_1 + 3V_2 = 0
V1=V2V_1 = V_2
Substitute V1=V2V_1 = V_2 in equation 5:
12V213V2=2012V_2 - 13V_2 = 20
V2=20-V_2 = 20
V2=20V_2 = -20
V1=20V_1 = -20
Now, substitute V1=20V_1 = -20 and V2=20V_2 = -20 into Equation 3:
20202V3=10-20 - 20 - 2V_3 = 10
402V3=10-40 - 2V_3 = 10
2V3=50-2V_3 = 50
V3=25V_3 = -25

3. Final Answer

V1=20VV_1 = -20 V
V2=20VV_2 = -20 V
V3=25VV_3 = -25 V
