Text ## Lecture (L3-2) Nodal Analysis

We have now learned several methods of solving circuit equations.  Our EE toolbox now includes Ohm's law (to relate V-I-R), combining resistors in series and parallel to simplify the circuit, voltage and current dividers, and Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws to solve for V and I in the circuit.  The node voltage method (also known as nodal analysis) is another way of calculating V and I in a circuit.

Questions of the Day (Learning Objectives)

  1. How can you solve for unknown currents and voltages in a circuit using the Node-Voltage method (nodal analysis)?
  2. What are super nodes, and how do you use them?
  3. What are dependent sources, and how do you include them in a node voltage equation?
