Nodal Analysis without Voltage Sources
3
Nodal analysis is based on KCL.
It makes use of node voltages as circuit variables.
Steps to determine node voltages - assume a circuit with nnodes:
1. Select a node as the reference node.
Reference nodea node with 0 potential.
2. Assign voltages v1, v2, , vn-1to the remaining n-1nodes.
The voltages are referenced with respect to the reference node.
3. Apply KCL to each of the n-1non-reference nodes.
Use Ohms law to express the branch currents in terms of nodevoltages.
4. Solve the resulting simultaneous equations to obtain the unknownnode voltages.

Nodal Analysis with Voltage Sources
7
Two cases to consider: Case 1: A voltage source is connected between a reference node
and a non-reference node. Set the voltage at the non-reference node equal to the voltage of the
voltage source.
Case 2: A voltage source is connected between two non-reference
nodes. The two non-reference nodes form a supernode.
Apply both KCL and KVL to determine the node voltages.
Supernodeit is formed by enclosing a (dependent/independent) voltagesource connected between two non-reference nodes and any elementsconnected in parallel with it.

Mesh Analysis
10
A mesh is a loop that does not contain any other loopswithin it.
Recap: a loop is any closed path with no node pass more than
once.
Mesh analysis is only applicable to a circuit that is planar.
Planar circuita circuit that can be drawn in a plane with no
branches crossing one another; otherwise, it is non-planar.

Mesh Analysis without Current Sources
13
Mesh analysis is based on KVL.
It makes use of mesh currents as circuit variables.
Steps to determine node voltages - assume a circuit with
nmeshes:1. Assign mesh currents i1, i2, , into the nmeshes.
Assume each mesh current flows clockwise.
2. Apply KVL to each of the nmeshes.
Use Ohms law to express the voltages in terms of the meshcurrents.
3. Solve the resulting simultaneous equations to get the mesh
currents.

Mesh Analysis with Current Sources
16
Two cases to consider: Case 1: A current source exists in only one mesh.
Set the mesh current = current source.
Case 2: A current source exists between two meshes.
Create a supermesh by excluding the current source and anyelements connected in series with it.
A supermesh results when two meshes have a (dependent or
independent) current source in common.
