Translation: Find the supplied power from the 4V Source using meshes method
I proposed five equations related with the circuit but I only find contradiction cause I find Rv value fixed. I suspect there should be voltage drops in current sources but I am not sure I think I am doing something conceptually wrong.
I skipped some steps but I hope you can follow me.
I am currently getting I2=I3 = 0 which makes the first two equations to fix Rv. By my understanding it is a contradiction.
Note: .5Nk is a name for the resistor value (proportional to N), I have just called it Rv.
Answer
Let's set up the mesh equations as you have the schematic drawn up:
0V−200⋅I3−600⋅I3−400⋅(I3−I2)−V5mA=0V0V−RV⋅(I2−I1)−400⋅(I2−I3)−VV2400=0V0V+4V−500⋅I1+V5mA−RV⋅(I1−I2)=0VI1−I3=5mAI2=V2=200⋅I3400=I32
This provides 5 equations and five unknowns: $I_1$, $I_2$, $I_3$, $V_{5\:\text{mA}}$, $V_{V_2\over 400}$.
Note that this includes the fact that there are, in fact, voltage drops across your current sources. Those are just two more variables, as shown.
Solving this yields 5 functions which depend upon $R_V$.
I can't tell you if $I_2=I_3=0\:\text{A}$ without knowing more about $R_V$. And I don't understand $.5\:N\:k$. (Does it mean $500\cdot N$?) So I'm stuck at this point, if you are looking for numerical results that aren't functions of $R_V$ (or N.)
(You can get $I_2=I_3=0\:\text{A}$ if and only if $R_V=300\:\Omega$. For obvious reasons.)
