Node -Voltage Method
o In the circuit shown in Fig.1, the lower node connects the most
branches, so we use it as the reference node. We flag the chosen
reference node with the symbol.▼

o A node voltage is defined as the voltage rise from the reference


node to a non reference node.

o For this circuit, we must define


two node voltages, which are
denoted V1 & V2 in Fig.1

Fig.1 The circuit with reference node


and the node voltages -
Node -Voltage Method
Node-Voltage Equations:
o First writing the current leaving each branch connected to a non
reference node as a function of the node voltages.

o Then summing these currents to zero in accordance with


Kirchhoff’s current law.

zero; therefore the node-voltage equation derived
