Re: a simple question
Mujee,
it should also be noted that you have to assume E0=0 (datum, ground or reference node, whatever you wish to call it). If this not chosen, you can still write the KCL equations, but you must use the voltage differentials (like E1-E0, E2-E0) to denote the voltage across GA and GB.
For KCL you first have to decide which way you have to take the currents. You can do (a) sum of currents leaving a node = 0, (b) sum of currents entering a node = 0, or (c) sum of currents leaving a node = sum of currents entering a node = 0. You start doing this by assigning currents in the directions that you choose, no matter if the actual current is in the assigned direction or not. If the actual current was going the opposite way that you assigned, you will see that when you do the algebra as the numerical value will be negative.
So assuming that E0=0. Let us write the equation for currents leaving the node marked by E1.
I1 + GA*E1 + G3*(E1-E2) = 0
Now, let us write the KCL equations for currents leaving the node marked by E2.
G3*(E2-E1) + GB*E2 - I2 = 0
The reason you see -I2 instead of I2 is because we chose to write currents leaving the node and current I2 is shown *entering* the node. If you always write the currents leaving the node =0, the voltages at which you are writing the equation will always come first in the differentials. By the way, with the way your circuit is drawn, without a "ground" or "datum" node, your KCL equations would be
I1 + GA*(E1-E0) + G3*(E1-E2) = 0
G3*(E2-E1) + GB*(E2-E0) - I2 = 0
