Chapter 2-Methods of Analysis

Chapter 2 discusses methods of analysis in electrical circuits, focusing on Nodal and Mesh Analysis. Nodal Analysis involves selecting a reference node, applying KCL, and solving for node voltages, while Mesh Analysis requires assigning mesh currents, applying KVL, and solving for those currents. The chapter includes exercises and examples to illustrate the application of these methods.

Methods of Analysis
2.1 Nodal Analysis:

Steps to solve Nodal Analysis


1. Select a node as the reference node. Assign voltages to the remaining nodes. The
voltages are referenced with respect to the reference node.
2. Apply KCL to each of the nonreference nodes. Use Ohm’s law to express the branch
currents in terms of node voltages.
3. Solve the resulting simultaneous equations to obtain the unknown node voltages.

Node 1:
I2 + I3 = I1 with I1 = 5A
Current flows from a higher potential to a lower potential in a resistor

I2 = , I3 =

+ =5 3V1-V2 =20 1

Node 2:
I2 + 10 = 5 + I4

𝑉 𝑉 𝑉6
+ 10 = 5 = 12
3V1 – 3V2 + 120 = 60 + 2V2
3V1 – 5V2 = - 60 2

+ V1 = 13.3v V2 = 20 V

Exercise 1: Using node method, find V1 & V2 .

Exercise 2 : Find V1,V2 .

Super Node: is formed by enclosing a voltage source connected between two non-
reference nodes and any elements connected in parallel with it.

-2 + + +7=0 V1 = -7.3 v

V2 – V1 = 2 V2 = -5.3 v
2.2 Mesh Analysis :
A mesh is a loop which does not contain any other loops within it.
Step to solve mesh analysis:
1. Assign mesh currents to the n meshes.
2. Apply KVL to each of the n meshes. Use Ohm’s law to express the voltages in terms of
the mesh currents.
3. Solve the resulting n simultaneous equations to get the mesh currents.

Exercise 3:

Mesh1 : -15 + 5i1 +10( i1 - i2 ) +10 = 0


5i1 + 10i1 – 10i2 = 5
15i1 – 10i2 = 5

Mesh2 : 6i2 +4i2 10 – 10i3 = 0


6i2 + 4i2 – 10 – 10(i1 + i2) = 0
-10i1 + 20i2 = 10
Exercise 4: find currents.

Exercise 5:

A supermesh results when two meshes have a current source in common.

Super mesh : -20 + 6i1 + 10i2 + 4i2 =0


6i1 + 14i2 = 20 1

i2 – i1 = 6 2
Problems:
1) Find voltages V1 and V2 .

2) Find current i.

3) Find V1 , V2 , V3 & V4 .
4) Find i1 & i2:

5) Find currents i1, i2 & i3.

6) Use mesh analysis to find vab and io.


7) Use mesh analysis to find currents.

8) Solve to find the currents.
