    The document describes the nodal analysis technique for solving electrical circuits. Nodal analysis involves assigning voltages to nodes and writing Kirchhoff's Current Law equations relating the node voltages. Key steps are determining a reference node, assigning voltages to other nodes, writing KCL equations, and solving the equations simultaneously to determine the node voltages and calculate branch currents. Examples provided illustrate the method for circuits with independent and dependent sources.

    Nodal Analysis

    An analysis technique to solve electrical circuit where the node voltages


    are used as the circuit variables

    It involves systematic steps with an objective to solve the node voltages

    With node voltages known, current in every branch can be calculated
