Kirchhoff's current law is the basis of nodal analysis. In electric circuits analysis, nodal analysis, node-voltage analysis, or the branch current method is a method of determining the voltage between nodes in terms of branch currents. Nodal analysis writes an equation at each node requiring that branch currents incident at a node must sum to zero. The branch currents are written in terms of node voltages. Nodal analysis produces a compact set of equations that can be solved by hand for small circuits or using linear algebra for larger circuits.

NODAL ANALYSIS
NODAL ANALYSIS
In electric circuits analysis, nodal analysis, node-voltage analysis, or

the branch current method is a method of determining the voltage


(potential difference) between "nodes" (points where elements or
branches connect) in an electrical circuit in terms of the branch currents.
In analyzing a circuit using Kirchhoff's circuit laws, one can either d
nodal analysis using Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) Nodal analysis writes
an equation at each electrical node, requiring that the branch currents
incident at a node must sum to zero. The branch currents are written in
terms of the circuit node voltages.

Nodal analysis is possible when all the circuit elements' branch constitutive relations have an
admittance representation. Nodal analysis produces a compact set of equations for the
network, which can be solved by hand if small, or can be quickly solved using linear algebra by
computer. Because of the compact system of equations, many circuit simulation programs
(e.g. SPICE) use nodal analysis as a basis. When elements do not have admittance
representations, a more general extension of nodal analysis, modified nodal analysis, can be
used.

supernode
When a circuit contains voltage sources DIRECTLY connecting two

essential nodes, the concept of the Supernode is used to write the

necessary nodal equations. Sometimes determining the extent of a

supernode can be a little tricky, so I will present here a simple method

for marking the supernodes. If you continue your studies in circuit

analysis, you will eventually be able to identify supernodes easily in

most cases without resorting to this technique. However, even then

you may find it helpful in particularly complicated situations.

MESH ANALYSIS
Mesh Analysis is used to solve planar circuits.
Mesh currents are assigned to each loop.
Kvl is applied to each loop in order to determine mesh currents.
When current source is between two meshes it makes super mesh.
For supermeshwe apply KCL and KVL.
Super position theorem
The superposition theorem for electrical circuits
states that for a linear system the response (voltage or
current) in any branch of a bilateral linear circuit
having more than one independent source equals the
algebraic sum of the responses caused by each
independent source acting alone, where all the other
independent sources are replaced by their internal
impedances.
Q# Use Super position theorem to find
Source Transformation
Source transformation in the frequency domain involves transforming a voltage source in series
with an impedance to a current source in parallel with an impedance, or vice versa.Source transformation
is an application of Thévenin's theorem and Norton's theorem.
