Main ideas 2/5/23-2/12/23


• Nodal analysis: find the nodal voltage first.
a. choose a reference node that connects to many components, especially independent voltage sources.
b. apply KCL to each node
• Loop/mesh analysis: find the loop current first.
a. choose a direction (usually clockwise) as the reference direction for each loop/node.
b. Pick loops so that current goes across current sources.
c. use KVL for each loop/mesh
• Equivalent resistance
a. Parallel add as 1/Req=1/R1+1/R2+R3…
b. Series add as Req=R1+R2+R2
c. Not everything is parallel or series
1. Apply loop/mesh analysis to find i1, i2, and i3 in the following circuit.

a) What is i1?

1 mA

b) Write the loop equation around the rightmost loop, in the final version with just i2 as a variable

i2(1k)+6+i2(2k)=0

c) Find I2

i2(1k)+6+i2(2k)=0

i2(3k)=-6

i2=-2mA

d) Find i3

i3=i1-i2

i3=1-(-2)

i3=3mA
I1= 1mA

I2=-2mA
I3= 3mA

2. Use nodal analysis to find V1 and I1 in the following circuit


I1 V1 V2
1 kW R2=1 kW

14 V
6 kW 2 kW 4mA

a) Write the node equations at node V1

(v1-14)/1k+v1/6k+v1/2k+(v1-v2)/1k=0

b) Find V1

(v2-v1)/1k+4=0
V2-v1=-4
V2=v1-4
2=v1-4
V1=6V

c) Find V2

v2=v1-4

v2=6-4=2V

V1= 6V

V2=2V

3. In the circuit shown, find the equivalent resistance.


4. Find the equivalent resistances for the following circuits (3 pt)
2 kW
6 kW

R eq 10kW 10kW R eq
R eq 6 kW 6 kW 6 kW 6kW
1. 1/(1/6+1/6)+2=5
2. 10+10=20
3. 0

R’eq = 5 kW

R’’eq= 20 kW

R’’’eq= 0 kW
