1. Methods of Analysis - 2 ENTC 210: Circuit Analysis I Rohit Singhal Lecturer Texas A&M University

2. The two Approaches already learnt! Reduce and Return Approach!  Simplest technique  Does not apply to more complex circuits. Current Loop Method  Also known as “Mesh Analysis”

3. Super-mesh Currents

4. Nodal Analysis Identify the nodes in the circuit. Pick a reference node (usually the ground) Define node voltages with respect to the reference for all nodes. Apply KCL at all nodes.

5. Nodal Analysis

6. Bridge Circuits

7. Bridge Circuit Planar / Non–planar circuits?

8. Bridge Circuits Symmetrical Lattice Network if  R1 = R4 and R2 = R3

9. Y - Δ Conversions
