NAME OF THE EXPERIMENT: STUDY OF NODAL ANALYSIS.

Objective: To solve a problem using nodal analysis.

Theory :

A node is defined as a junction of two or more branches. If we define one node of any network
as a reference (that is, a point of zero potential or ground), the remaining nodes of the network
will all have a fixed potential relative to this reference. For a network of N nodes, there
will exist (N-1) nodes with a fixed potential relative to the assigned reference node. Equations
relating these nodal voltages can be written by applying Kirchhoff’s current law at each of the
(N-1) nodes. To obtain the complete solution of a network, these nodal voltages are then
evaluated in the same manner in which loop currents were found in loop analysis.

The nodal analysis method is applied as follows:

1. Determine the number of nodes within the network.

2. Pick a reference node, and label each remaining node with a subscripted value of
voltage: V1, V2, and so on.

3. Apply Kirchhoff’s current law at each node except the reference. Assume that all unknown
currents leave the node for each application of Kirchhoff’s current law. In other words, for
each node, don’t be influenced by the direction that an unknown current for another
node may have had. Each node is to be treated as a separate entity, independent of
the application of Kirchhoff’s current law to the other nodes.

4. Solve the resulting equations for the nodal voltages
