First find the branch current at the 15 ohm resistor. Then we can determine
power consumption by P=IR2.

10 − 4 ( i1 + i2 ) − 15i1 = 0
15i1 − 10i2 = 0
⇒ i1 = 0.4 A, i2 = 0.6A
P = i12 R = 0.42 × 15 = 2.4W

Find v(t)-i(t) relationship using source transformations.

First we combine the 1Ω and the 2Ω resistors which are in parallel:

Then we do a source transformation:

Now we add the two current power supplies and we also combine the two resistors in parallel to get:
The v(t)-i(t) relationship then becomes:

v(t ) = Ω  i(t ) + is (t ) + Ω −1vs (t ) 
