    The Theorem of Mesh and Nodal - DC Circui

    The document summarizes an experiment on mesh and nodal analysis of a DC circuit. 6 resistors of different values were used to construct a Wheatstone bridge circuit. Voltage and current measurements were taken across each resistor. Mesh and nodal analyses were then used to calculate theoretical values, which were compared to the experimental measurements. Both methods allow determining voltages and currents, but nodal analysis directly provides node voltages while mesh analysis directly provides branch currents. Nodal analysis is best for circuits with current sources, while mesh analysis is best for circuits with voltage sources. The experimental results matched well with the theoretical calculations using both methods.

    Abstract: The experiment is about to demonstrate By using mesh analysis , instead of labelling
    mesh and nodal analysis using constructed the branch currents we need to label each “closed
    Wheatstone bridge with the appropriate resistors loop” with a circulating current. We now can write
    that I had choosed and get the experimental kirchoff’s voltage law equation in a closed loop. To

    current or voltage in a particular branch of an
    Resistor Resistance Current Voltage
    electrical circuit , but using nodal analysis we can
    1 980Ω 3.1mA 3.0V find easily node voltages thereby by current using
