The same network, terminals shorted

This is the circuit from the lecture, running. Change it and the answer changes with it:

• Click any component value to edit it, or drag components to rearrange.
• The wrench opens a step-by-step analysis — it chooses a reference node and writes the node equations. Leave its Domain on the DC operating point for this deck.
• The crosshairs probe reads a node voltage or a branch current, so you can check any intermediate result rather than only the final answer.

The short drops $v_x$ from 6 V to 4.8 V, because the dependent source is controlled by a quantity the short changed. Probe the current down the right-hand wire: 1.2 A.
