ENGR 201 Questions, Homework 4

Matthew Shuman

For this and all homework assignments, you should show enough work that the assignment
is self supporting. Write out the problem, explain any researched information needed to solve
the problem, and show your work in an organized manner. I encourage you as students to post
questions onto Canvas concerning this assignment.

Nodal Analysis (4 points)


Calculate the voltages of each node on the circuit, with reference to ground. Use the following
procedure for each circuit.
1. Draw circuit

2. Label nodes
3. List KCL Equations
4. Perform Ohm’s Law substitutions
5. Identify an equation per unknown voltage

6. Solve system of equations


7. Summarize final voltages for each node
8. Validate answers with LTSpice simulation

circuit.

1. Draw circuit
2. Label meshes
3. List KVL Equations
4. Perform Ohm’s Law substitutions

5. Identify an equation per unknown mesh current


6. Solve system of equations
