This is my solution,but i have a problem with doing a node analysis for node 2 and 3.In my textbook the solution is like this: (2+i1+i1)V1 -2VO -i1V2=0 and(1-i2+i1)V2-i1V1=5

\$\begingroup\$ Show us your node voltage analysis. It is cut off at the bottom of your picture. Also, add the homework tag to your question. \$\endgroup\$relayman357– relayman3572020-06-07 16:14:58 +00:00Commented Jun 7, 2020 at 16:14

\$\begingroup\$ Also, don't mix j and i for the square root of -1. In EE we use j to avoid confusion with a variable representing a current. Please write your equations using just j. \$\endgroup\$Elliot Alderson– Elliot Alderson2020-06-07 17:19:04 +00:00Commented Jun 7, 2020 at 17:19

\$\begingroup\$ @relayman357 First of all the reason it is cut is because it is wrong and in the textbook it is given only the answer and i didn't know how to get there.I am not adding a homework tag,because it is not homework,it is simply for practice. (If it was homework why would i have the answer given??) \$\endgroup\$Alice At.– Alice At.2020-06-08 06:57:02 +00:00Commented Jun 8, 2020 at 6:57

The solution in your text book is correct:

The solution would be \$V_1 = 2 - j\$ and \$V_2 = 2+4\cdot j\$.

1\$\begingroup\$ If you give them a homework solution without guiding them through the method of solving the problem then you haven't helped anyone. The OP hasn't learned how to solve the next problem they encounter. \$\endgroup\$Elliot Alderson– Elliot Alderson2020-06-08 12:38:40 +00:00Commented Jun 8, 2020 at 12:38
Because you already have the answer I will present my answer using Mathematica. This way you can solve your circuit more generally.
Well, let's solve this mathematically. We have the following circuit:

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
When we use and apply KCL, we can write the following set of equations:
$$ \begin{cases} \text{I}_1=\text{I}_2+\text{I}_7\\ \\ \text{I}_7=\text{I}_3+\text{I}_4\\ \\ \text{I}_8=\text{I}_3+\text{I}_4\\ \\ \text{I}_8=\text{I}_5+\text{I}_9\\ \\ \text{I}_6=\text{I}_9+\text{I}_\text{b}\\ \\ \text{I}_6=\text{I}_{10}+\text{I}_\text{b}\\ \\ \text{I}_{11}=\text{I}_5+\text{I}_{10}\\ \\ \text{I}_1=\text{I}_2+\text{I}_{11} \end{cases}\tag1 $$
When we use and apply Ohm's law, we can write the following set of equations:
$$ \begin{cases} \text{I}_1=\frac{\text{V}_\text{a}-\text{V}_1}{\text{R}_1}\\ \\ \text{I}_2=\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{R}_2}\\ \\ \text{I}_3=\frac{\text{V}_1-\text{V}_2}{\text{R}_3}\\ \\ \text{I}_4=\frac{\text{V}_1-\text{V}_2}{\text{R}_4}\\ \\ \text{I}_5=\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{R}_5}\\ \\ \text{I}_6=\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{R}_6} \end{cases}\tag2 $$
Now, we can use Mathematica to write a code that solves all the unknowns:
Va =;
Ib =;
R1 =;
R2 =;
R3 =;
R4 =;
R5 =;
R6 =;
FullSimplify[
Solve[{I1 == I2 + I7, I7 == I3 + I4, I8 == I3 + I4, I8 == I5 + I9,
I6 == I9 + Ib, I6 == I10 + Ib, I11 == I5 + I10, I1 == I2 + I11,
I1 == (Va - V1)/R1, I2 == (V1)/R2, I3 == (V1 - V2)/R3,
I4 == (V1 - V2)/R4, I5 == (V2)/R5, I6 == (V2)/R6}, {I1, I2, I3, I4,
I5, I6, I7, I8, I9, I10, I11, V1, V2}]]
Now, applying this to your circuit we need to use (we use the 'complex' s-domain where I used Laplace transform):
- $$\text{R}_2=\frac{1}{\text{sC}_1}\tag3$$
- $$\text{R}_3=\text{sL}_1\tag4$$
- $$\text{R}_4=\frac{1}{\text{sC}_2}\tag5$$
- $$\text{R}_5=\text{sL}_2\tag6$$
So, for the code we get:
Va = LaplaceTransform[u*Cos[\[Omega]1*t], t, s];
Ib = LaplaceTransform[i*Cos[\[Omega]2*t], t, s];
u =;
i =;
\[Omega]1 =;
\[Omega]2 =;
R1 =;
R2 = 1/(s*C1);
R3 = s*L1;
R4 = 1/(s*C2);
R5 = s*L2;
R6 =;
C1 =;
C2 =;
L1 =;
L2 =;
FullSimplify[
Solve[{I1 == I2 + I7, I7 == I3 + I4, I8 == I3 + I4, I8 == I5 + I9,
I6 == I9 + Ib, I6 == I10 + Ib, I11 == I5 + I10, I1 == I2 + I11,
I1 == (Va - V1)/R1, I2 == (V1)/R2, I3 == (V1 - V2)/R3,
I4 == (V1 - V2)/R4, I5 == (V2)/R5, I6 == (V2)/R6}, {I1, I2, I3, I4,
I5, I6, I7, I8, I9, I10, I11, V1, V2}]]
Solving this in your circuit, gives:
In[1]:=Va = LaplaceTransform[u*Cos[\[Omega]1*t], t, s];
Ib = LaplaceTransform[i*Cos[\[Omega]2*t], t, s];
u = 5;
i = 5;
\[Omega]1 = 2;
\[Omega]2 = 2;
R1 = 1/2;
R2 = 1/(s*C1);
R3 = s*L1;
R4 = 1/(s*C2);
R5 = s*L2;
R6 = 1;
C1 = 1/2;
C2 = 1;
L1 = 1/2;
L2 = 1/4;
FullSimplify[
Solve[{I1 == I2 + I7, I7 == I3 + I4, I8 == I3 + I4, I8 == I5 + I9,
