Lecture 6 Nodal Analysis Section 4.1-4.4 Jack Ou, Ph.D.
Step 1: Number of Nodal Voltage Equations • ne is essential nodes • Number of nodal voltage Equations is ne-1 ne is 3 2 nodal voltage equations are required.
Step 2: Designate a node as the reference node. • Suggestion: Select the node with the most branches.
Step 4: Apply KCL • Sum Currents Away from Essential Node
Supernode • When a voltage source is between two essential nodes, we can combine these nodes to form a supernode.
