DC circuits

In the circuit shown in the figure, the current $i$ is $2\,$A. Find $V_S$.

%pycat dc_circuit_7_orig.in

We now replace the string \$Vs with the value of our choice by running the python script given below. It takes an existing circuit file dc_circuit_7_orig.in and produces a new circuit file dc_circuit_7.in, after replacing \$Vs with the value of our choice.

In [3]:
import gseim_calc as calc
s_Vs = '10' # to be changed by user
l = [
  ('$Vs', s_Vs),
]
calc.replace_strings_1("dc_circuit_7_orig.in", "dc_circuit_7.in", l)
print('dc_circuit_7.in is ready for execution')

dc_circuit_7.in is ready for execution
Execute the following cell to run GSEIM on dc_circuit_7.in.
In [4]:
import os
import dos_unix
# uncomment for windows:
#dos_unix.d2u("dc_circuit_7.in")
os.system('run_gseim dc_circuit_7.in')

Circuit: filename = dc_circuit_7.in
main: i_solve = 0
GSEIM: Program completed.
Out[4]:
0

The circuit file (dc_circuit_7.in) is created in the same directory as that used for launching Jupyter notebook. The last step (i.e., running GSEIM on dc_circuit_7.in) creates the data file dc_circuit_7.dat in the same directory. We can now use the python code below to compute and display the quantities of interest.

In [5]:
import numpy as np
import gseim_calc as calc

slv = calc.slv("dc_circuit_7.in")

i_slv = 0
i_out = 0
filename = slv.l_filename_all[i_slv][i_out]
print('filename:', filename)
u = np.loadtxt(filename)
VA = slv.get_scalar_double(i_slv, i_out, "VA", u)
VB = slv.get_scalar_double(i_slv, i_out, "VB", u)
VC = slv.get_scalar_double(i_slv, i_out, "VC", u)
IR1 = slv.get_scalar_double(i_slv, i_out, "IR1", u)
IR2 = slv.get_scalar_double(i_slv, i_out, "IR2", u)
IR3 = slv.get_scalar_double(i_slv, i_out, "IR3", u)

s_format = "%7.2f"

calc.print_double_1('VA', VA, s_format)
calc.print_double_1('VB', VB, s_format)
calc.print_double_1('VC', VC, s_format)

s_format_1 = "%11.4E"

calc.print_double_1('IR1', IR1, s_format_1)
calc.print_double_1('IR2', IR2, s_format_1)
calc.print_double_1('IR3', IR3, s_format_1)

filename: dc_circuit_7.dat
VA:    7.50
VB:   15.00
VC:   10.00
IR1: -1.8750E+00
IR2:  2.5002E+00
