Circuit Topology
 Topology: How a circuit is laid out.
 A branch represents a single circuit (network) element; that is,
any two terminal element.
 A node is the point of connection between two or more
branches.
 A loop is any closed path in a circuit (network).
 A loop is said to be independent if it contains a branch which
is not in any other loop. 7

Kirchhoff’s Laws
 Kirchhoff’s laws are used to find (or solve)
voltage and currents in the every element in
the circuit.
 Unknowns in the circuit are 7, namely,

 Ohms law can provide us with 4 equations,


namely

 However Ohms equations can not be sufficient to solve for the 7 unknown,
we need still 3 equations , what are these equations ?
 Kirchhoff’s Laws stated by Russian scientist Gustav Kirchhoff.
Kirchhoff’s Laws
 Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
 sum of all currents entering a node is zero
 sum of currents entering node is equal to sum of currents leaving node
 Conservation of charge

 Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)


 sum of voltages around any loop in a circuit is zero
 Conservation of energy
Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)

 The algebraic sum of all the currents at any


node in a circuit equals zero.
 The algebraic signify a sign on the current that
is positive or negative. Since the current is a
reference quantity by direction. Then we can
state the following

Current entering the node is positive and


current leaving the node is negative
KCL
 In Electric Circuit Analysis, there are two types of circuit
analysis based on a systematic application of Kirchhoff’s laws
(KCL and KVL).
 Mesh Current Analysis
 Nodal Voltage Analysis

 Node analysis and Mesh analysis are both circuit analysis


methods which are systematic and apply to most circuits.
 Analysis of circuits using node or loop analysis requires
solutions of systems of linear equations.
 These equations can usually be written by inspection of the
circuit.
Nodal Voltage Analysis
Steps to Determine Node Voltages:
 Identify the number nodes (n) in circuit and select one node as

the reference node (more number of braches are


connected).
 Assign voltages v , v , . . . , v
1 2 n−1 to the remaining n − 1 nodes.
The voltages are referenced with respect to the reference node.
 Apply KCL to each of the n − 1 nonreference nodes. Use

Ohm’s law to express the branch currents in terms of node


voltages.
 Solve the resulting simultaneous equations to obtain the

unknown node voltages.
