EE 1105: Introduction to EEFreshman Seminar Lecture 4: Circuit Analysis Node Analysis, Mesh Currents Superposition, Thevenin and Norton Equivalents
Circuits • Abstraction describing how (the topology) electrical or electronic modules are interconnected. • Closely related to a GRAPH. • Nomenclature: • Nodes, Extraordinary nodes, Supernodes (adjacent nodes sharing a voltage source) • Edges(Branches) • Paths (collection of edges with no node appearing twice), • Loops (closed paths) • Meshes (loop containing no other loop), Supermeshes (adjacent meshes sharing a current source)
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law • The sum of the voltage drops around a closed path is zero. • Example: -120 + V1 + V2 + V3 + V4 = 0
Kirchhoff’s Current Law • A node is a point where two or more circuit elements are connected together. • The sum of the currents leaving a node is zero.
Nodal Analysis • Identify all extraordinary nodes. Select one as ground reference and assign node voltages to the other ones. • Write KCL at the non-zero voltage nodes in conjunction with Ohm’s law. • Solve a system of simultaneous equations • In the case of a supernode, apply KVL along the connection, and ignore any resistors in parallel to a voltage source.
Superposition Principle • Fundamental Property of Linear Circuits • Replace all but one source in the circuit with a short (voltage source) or an open (current sources). • Apply analysis to find nodal voltages. • Repeat for all sources • Add all nodal voltages to find the total result.
Example • Replace EG1 with a short (zero). Solve resulting circuit for Va1. • Replace EG2 with a short. Solve resulting circuit for Va2. • Total Va=Va1+Va2 • Exercise in Lab – you should obtain the same result as in the previous case.
Mesh Analysis • Identify all meshes and assign them an unknown current, clockwise. • Write KVL on each mesh • Solve a system of simultaneous equations • In the case of a supermesh, add an extra equation with the dependence between the currents
Example • Two meshes with currents I1 and I2. • KVL: • Resulting current through R3 is I1-I2.
Mesh Analysis by Inspection • Applies only if all sources be independent voltage sources • Same procedure to assign mesh currents. • Define Rij – resistances as follows: • Rii – sum of all resistances connected to mesh I • Rij=Rji – minus sum of all resistances shared between mesh I and J • Define total voltages from voltage sources along mesh I as Vi. • Write and solve matrix equation RI=V, in which R=(Rij), V=(Vi), I=(Ii).
Nodal Analysis By Inspection • Applies only if all sources be independent current sources • Same procedure to assign node voltages. • Define Gij– conductances as follows: • Gii – sum of all conductances connected to node I • Gij=Gji– minus sum of all conductances connected between node I and J • Define currents from current sources entering node I as Ii. • Write and solve matrix equation GV=I, in which G=(Gij), V=(Vi), I=(Ii).

Thévenin’s Theorem • A linear circuit can be represented at its output terminals as an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source Vth in series with a resistor Rth. • Vth is determined when no load is applied on the output. • Rth is determined by deactivating all independent sources in circuit. A • Network 1 Network 2 B • Application: Coupled networks.
Example – Note, this does not work with dependent sources Place a voltmeter across terminals A-B and read the voltage. We call this the open-circuit voltage. No matter how complicated Network 1 is, we read one voltage. We call this voltage VAB =VTHEVENIN = VTH Deactivate independent sources Place an ohmmeter across A-B and read the resistance. We call this the Thevenin equivalent Resistance RTH
