    Muhammad Mustasam
    This document discusses network analysis techniques for resistive circuits. It introduces loop and mesh analysis, and focuses on the node voltage method of analysis. The key steps of the node voltage method are: (1) define node voltages with respect to a reference ground node; (2) apply Kirchhoff's Current Law at each node to write equations relating the node voltages; and (3) solve the resulting system of equations to determine the node voltages. An example problem demonstrates applying these steps to solve a circuit containing current sources.

    2.9.

    3 Loop
    • Is any closed connection of branches.

    • Note how two different loops in the same circuit


    may include some of the same elements or
    branches.
    1
    2.9.4 Mesh
    • Is a loop that does not contain other loops.

    2.9.5 Network Analysis
    • The analysis of an Electrical Network consists
    of determining each of the unknown branch
    currents and node voltages.
    • The analysis of electrical circuits consists of
    (Chapter 3):
    1. Define all of the relevant variables as clearly as
    possible.
    2. Construct a set of equations relating these
    variables.
    3. Solve them by means of suitable techniques.

    3
    2.9.6 Circuit Variables
    • The first observation to be
    made is that the relevant
    variables in Network
    Analysis are the Node
    Voltages and the Branch
    Currents.
    • This fact is really nothing
    more than a consequence
    of Ohm’s Law.
    • Consider the branch
    depicted in Figure 2.50.

    Continue…
    • Here, once a voltage vR is defined
    across the resistor R, a current iR
    will flow through the resistor,
    according to vR = iRR.
    • But the voltage vR, which causes
    the current to flow, is really the
    difference in electric potential
    between nodes a and b:

    Continue…
    • But, What meaning do we assign to
    the variables va and vb?
    • Was it not stated that voltage is a
    potential difference?
    • Is it then justifiable to define the
    voltage at a single point (node) in a
    circuit?
    • The answer is as follow
    6
    Continue…
    • Whenever we reference the voltage at a
    node in a circuit, we imply an
    assumption that the voltage at that
    node is the potential difference
    between the node itself and a reference
    node called ground, which is located
    somewhere else in the circuit and
    which for convenience has been
    assigned a potential of zero volts.
    7
    Continue…
    • Thus, the expression vR = va − vb really
    signifies that vR is the difference between
    the voltage differences va − vc and vb − vc.
    • Where vc is the (arbitrary) ground
    potential.
    • Note that the equation vR = va − vb would
    hold even if the reference node, c , were
    not assigned a potential of zero volts, since

    EX 2.12: Integration of Concepts
    • Identify the branch and node voltages and the loop
    and mesh currents in the circuit of Figure 2.52.

    Note: ia, ib, and ic are loop currents, but


    only ia and ib are mesh currents.

    Resistive Network Analysis

    10
    Introduction
    • This chapter will illustrate the
    fundamental techniques for the analysis
    of Resistive Circuits.
    • The methods introduced are based on
    the circuit laws presented in Chapter 2:
    1. Kirchhoff’s
    2. Ohm’s laws.

    11
    3.1 The Node Voltage Method
    • It is also called Nodal Analysis.
    • The procedure of this method is as follow:

    12
    Application of KCL at node a yields:

    at node a

    at node b

    at reference node
    This equation is not necessary, and can be
    generated from the first two equations

    13
    14
    EX 3.2: Nodal Analysis With
    Current Sources
    • Write the nodal
    equations and solve for
    the node voltages in the
    circuit of Figure 3.6.
    • Given data is as follow:
    ia = 1 mA; ib = 2 mA; R1
    = 1 kΩ; R2 = 500 Ω; R3
    = 2.2 kΩ; R4 = 4.7 kΩ.

    15
    Continue…
    • Solution:
    • First, the ground node
    is chosen to be the node
    at the bottom of the
    circuit.
    • Next, two nodes remain
    after the selection of the
    reference node.
    • Let us label these a and
    b and define voltages va
    and vb.
    16
    Continue…
    • Finally, we apply KCL at each of the nodes

    • Rewrite the equations to obtain a linear system:

    17
    Continue…
    • Substituting the numerical values in these
    equations, we get
