Introduction
• The circuits described in previous chapters had only one
source or two or more sources in series or parallel.
• The step-by-step procedures outlined in those chapters
can be applied only if the sources are in series or parallel.
• Usually, there will be an interaction of sources that will
not permit the reduction techniques used to find
quantities such as the total resistance and the source
current.
• For such situations, methods of analysis have been
developed that allow us to approach, in a systematic
manner, networks with any number of sources in any
arrangement.
CURRENT SOURCES
• a current source determines the direction and
magnitude of the current in the branch
where it is located.
SOURCE
CONVERSIONS
CURRENT SOURCES IN PARALLEL
• current sources of different values cannot be
placed in series due to a violation of Kirchhoff’s
current law.
• two or more current sources in parallel can be
replaced by a single current source having a
magnitude determined by the difference of the
sum of the currents in one direction and the sum
in the opposite direction. The new parallel
internal resistance is the total resistance of the
resulting parallel resistive elements.
CURRENT SOURCES IN SERIES
• current sources of different current ratings
are not connected in series.
MESH ANALYSIS (GENERAL APPROACH)
• the number of mesh currents required to analyze a network
will equal the number of “windows” of the configuration.
Mesh Analysis Procedure
1. Assign a distinct current in the
clockwise direction to each
independent, closed loop of the
network.
2. Indicate the polarities within each
loop for each resistor as determined
by the assumed direction of loop
current for that loop.
3. Apply Kirchhoff’s voltage law
around each closed loop in the
clockwise direction.
4. Solve the resulting simultaneous
linear equations for the assumed
loop currents.
NODAL ANALYSIS (GENERAL APPROACH)
• the number of nodes for which the voltage
must be determined using nodal analysis is 1
less than the total number of nodes.
• the number of equations required to solve for
all the nodal voltages of a network is 1 less
than the total number of independent nodes.
Nodal Analysis Procedure
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.
4. Solve the resulting equations for the nodal voltages.
EXAMPLE 8.19

network in Fig. 8.46.
