Lect4EEE 2022 Node and Loop Analysis Node analysis and loop analysis are both circuit analysis methods which are systematic and apply to most circuits Analysis of circuits using node or loop analysis requires solutions of systems of linear equations These equations can usually be written by inspection of the circuit

Lect4EEE 2023 Steps of Nodal Analysis 1.Choose a reference (ground) node. 2.Assign node voltages to the other nodes. 3.Apply KCL to each node other than the reference node; express currents in terms of node voltages. 4.Solve the resulting system of linear equations for the nodal voltages.

Lect4EEE 20220 The Dependent Source We must express I b in terms of the node voltages: Equation from Node 4 becomes
21
Lect4EEE 20221 How to Proceed? The 0.7-V voltage supply makes it impossible to apply KCL to nodes 2 and 3, since we don’t know what current is passing through the supply We do know that V 2 – V 3 = 0.7 V The above is a needed constraint equation
