Answer

Av = v2/v1=-0.18

Work Step by Step

Let I1 be the left hand mesh, I2 be the middle mesh, and I3 be the right hand mesh. All mesh currents are clockwise in direction. Note that For mesh #1: v1-I1-2(I1-I2)=0 For mesh #2: -2(I2-I1)-4I2-4(I2-I3)+2v1=0 For mesh #3: -2v1-4(I3-I2)+4I3=0 and finally, v1=2(I1-I2) Solving, I1=0.455v2 I2=0.182v2 I3=0.045v2 but v2=4I3=4*0.045v2 or Av = v2/v1=-0.18
