Node Analysis
• Steps to find a current flowing in a circuit using Node Analysis

1. Identify nodes in a circuit and Label all the nodes.

2. Select one of node as reference node.

3. Apply KCL to each node.

4. Solve the resulting simultaneous linear equations for the unknown node voltages.

5. Branch currents can be calculated using node voltages


• Example 1: Find node voltage V in the following circuit

Solution :
• Example 2: Determine the branch current by using nodal analysis.

Solution : By Ohm’s law, we can get,


• Calculate the branch current by using the values of junction voltage obtained

Hence, using the nodal analysis method, we have successfully obtained the branch currents in the
given circuit.
• Example 3: Find the V1 and V2 and Determine the Current at 10Ω and 20Ω resistor.

Solution : The node equation to node 1 is written as,

[(V1 – 20) /5 ]+ [V1 / 10 ]+ [(V1 – V2) /10] = 0

(2V1 -40 + V1 + V1- V2) /10=0

V2= 4V1 – 40…….eq 1

The node equation to node 2 is written as

-4 + (V2 / 20) + [(V2 – V1) /10] = 0

(-80 + V2 + 2V2 – 2V2) /20 =0

After simplifying we get,

3V2 – 2V1= 80…..eq 2


From eq 1, V2 = 4V1 – 40

Substitute the above equation in equation 2

Then,

3V2 – 2V1 = 80

3 (4V1 -40) -2V1 = 80

12V1 – 120 – 2V1 = 80

10V1 = 80 + 120

10V1 = 200

Therefore the node voltage V1 = 20 Volts.

Substitute the V1 = 20 volts in equation 1 to obtain node voltage V2

V2 = 4V1 – 40
Therefore the node voltage V2 = 40 Volts

Hence the node voltages around the circuit are 20 Volts and 40 Volts.

The branch current across the resistor 20 Ohms is,

I = V2/RI = 40/20

I = 2 Amps

The branch current across the resistor 10 ohms is,

I = V1/RI = 20/10

I = 2 Amps.
