Node Analysis
|
1. Select 1 node to be the reference
2. Mark the other nodes and label node voltages. 3. Mark the current direction & Polarity on R’s based on PSC, 4. Decide if any node voltages are known, 5. write a kcl equation for each node with an unknown voltage, 6. Express the currents in terms of node voltages i1-i2 = 0 (v1-v2/r1), 7. Gather Node Voltages together, 8. Solve for Node voltages. 9. Use node voltages to solve for other voltages/currents. |
|
When are Node voltages known?
|
When a Voltage source is connected to a refference node.
|
|
Mech Analysis
|
1. Mark Meshes & Lable mesh currents(will do clockwise in class), 2. Decide which mesh currents are known/unknown, 3. Write a KVL Equation for eash mesh with an unknown mesh current *assign Polarity on resistors based on mesh current of KVL Eqn. 4. Express Voltages in terms of Mesh Currents, 5. Gather up all of terms and solve,
|
|
When is a Mesh current known?
|
When a current supply is connected to only one mesh.(if it isn’t then both of the meshes are dependent.
|
|
Equivalent resistance
|
1. Remove the load resistor,
2. Clealy mark Terminal where the resistor was 3. zero all independent sources 4. "zero" means a wire over voltage sources and make current sources open 5.Find the equivalent Resistance between load terminals (This is Rn &Rt) *tips - redraw circuits if your having issues condensing |

|
Computing the norton Current
|
1. Replace the load with a short circuit
2. Define the short-circuit current i(sc) to be the Norton equivalent current 3. Apply any preferred method (e.g., node analysis) to solce for i(sc) 4. The Norton current is i(n) = i(sc) |
|
Computing the Thevenin Voltage
|
1. Remove the load, leaving the load terminals open-circuited.
2. Define the open-circuit voltage v(oc) accross the open load terminals. 3. Apply any preferred method (e.g, node analysis) to solve for v(oc). 4. The Thevenin voltage is v(t) = v(oc) |
