Act like a helpful tutor and exlain me :Problem 1 (Linear algebraic equations) (30 points)

Consider the electrical circuit shown below, which includes a dependent voltage source labeled
2v, where v is the voltage across resistor R,. Given the voltage source v, and resistor values,
apply mesh current analysis to derive the system of simultaneous linear equations in matrix form
[A]{x} = {b}.

a) Solve by hand: Use the Gauss Elimination method to solve for the mesh currents,
showing all intermediate steps.

b) Implement in MATLAB: Develop a MATLAB program to perform Gauss Elimination,
taking [A] and {b} as inputs and computing {x}. Ensure the program includes pivoting to
handle division by zero.

Absolutely, let's break down the process step by step!

# Step 1: **Assign Meshents**

- $i_1$: Left mesh (through $R_1, R_2$)
- $i_2$: Top mesh (through $R_2, R_3, R_4$)
- $i_3$: Right mesh (through $R_4, R_5$)

---

# Step 2: **Write Mesh Equations (KVL) for Each Loop**

### **Mesh 1: $i_1$ (Left Loop)**

$$
-v_c + R_1 i_1 + R_2(i_1 - i_2) = 
$$

### **Mesh 2: $i_2$ (Top Loop)**

$$
R_2(i_2 - i_1) + R_3(i_2) + R_4(i_2 - i_3) - 2v = 
$$
But $v = R_2(i_1 - i_2)$, so $2v = 2R_2(i_1 - i_2)$.

### **Mesh 3: $i_3$ (Right Loop)**

$$
R_4(i_3 - i_2) + R_5(i_3) + 2v = 
$$
Again, substitute $2v = 2R_2(i_1 - i_2)$.

---

# Step 3: **Substitute and Arrange Equations**

Let's expand and collect like terms:

---

### **Mesh 1:**

$$
-v_c + R_1 i_1 + R_2(i_1 - i_2) = 
$$
$$
R_1 i_1 + R_2 i_1 - R_2 i_2 = v_c
$$
$$
(R_1 + R_2) i_1 - R_2 i_2 +  \cdot i_3 = v_c
$$

---

### **Mesh 2:**

$$
R_2(i_2 - i_1) + R_3 i_2 + R_4(i_2 - i_3) - 2R_2(i_1 - i_2) = 
$$
$$
R_2 i_2 - R_2 i_1 + R_3 i_2 + R_4 i_2 - R_4 i_3 - 2R_2 i_1 + 2R_2 i_2 = 
$$
Combine like terms:
- $i_1$: $-R_2 i_1 - 2R_2 i_1 = -3R_2 i_1$
- $i_2$: $R_2 i_2 + R_3 i_2 + R_4 i_2 + 2R_2 i_2 = (R_2 + R_3 + R_4 + 2R_2) i_2 = (3R_2 + R_3 + R_4) i_2$
- $i_3$: $-R_4 i_3$

So:
$$
-3R_2 i_1 + (3R_2 + R_3 + R_4) i_2 - R_4 i_3 = 
$$

---

### **Mesh 3:**

$$
R_4(i_3 - i_2) + R_5 i_3 + 2R_2(i_1 - i_2) = 
$$
$$
R_4 i_3 - R_4 i_2 + R_5 i_3 + 2R_2 i_1 - 2R_2 i_2 = 
$$
$$
2R_2 i_1 + (-R_4 - 2R_2) i_2 + (R_4 + R_5) i_3 = 
$$

---

# Step 4: **Plug in Given Values**

Given:
- $v_c = 1.5$ V
- $R_1 = 1$, $R_2 = .5$, $R_3 = .25$, $R_4 = .25$, $R_5 = .25$ (all in $\Omega$)

Now substitute:

### **Mesh 1:**
$$
(1 + .5) i_1 - .5 i_2 = 1.5
$$
$$
1.5 i_1 - .5 i_2 = 1.5
$$

### **Mesh 2:**
$$
-3(.5) i_1 + (3(.5) + .25 + .25) i_2 - .25 i_3 = 
$$
$$
-1.5 i_1 + (1.5 + .25 + .25) i_2 - .25 i_3 = 
$$
$$
-1.5 i_1 + 2. i_2 - .25 i_3 = 
$$

### **Mesh 3:**
$$
2(.5) i_1 + (-.25 - 2(.5)) i_2 + (.25 + .25) i_3 = 
$$
$$
1. i_1 + (-.25 - 1.) i_2 + .5 i_3 = 
$$
$$
1. i_1 - 1.25 i_2 + .5 i_3 = 
$$

---

# Step 5: **Write in Matrix Form**

$$
\begin{bmatrix}
1.5 & -.5 &  \
-1.5 & 2. & -.25 \
1. & -1.25 & .5
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
i_1 \ i_2 \ i_3
\end{bmatrix}
=
\begin{bmatrix}
1.5 \  \ 
\end{bmatrix}
$$

| Mesh 2   | -1.5    | 2.     | -.25   |    |
