    The document discusses two circuit analysis techniques: mesh current analysis and nodal analysis. 1) Mesh current analysis uses Kirchhoff's voltage law to write loop equations relating the loop currents and voltage sources. Nodal analysis uses Kirchhoff's current law to write equations relating the node voltages and current sources. 2) For both methods, the circuit is modeled by setting up a system of linear equations that can then be solved for the unknown currents or voltages. 3) Examples are provided for both methods to demonstrate how to set up the equations for given circuits and solve for desired current or voltage values.

    Circuit analysis technique

    Mesh(loop)current method(Maxwell's method):

    This method is derived from (KVL) and can be applied by the


    following step:

    1) Convert all current sources in the circuit to voltage


    sources.
    2) Assign independent loop in the circuit to be analyzed (all
    the loop have the same direction).
    3) Write the loop equations of the circuit as in the following
    formulas.
    I1∑Rloop1- I2∑Rbetween loop1&2-………..-In∑Rbetween loop1&n= ∑Vloop1…..(1)
    -I1∑Rbetween loop1&2+ I2∑Rloop2-………..-In∑Rbetween loop2&n= ∑Vloop2…(2)
    . . . .
    . . . .
    -I1∑Rbetwwen loop1&n- I2∑Rbetween loopn&2-……….+In∑Rloopn=∑Vloopn…..(n)

    4) Solve the above equation to find out the current


    value(I1,I2…….In )

    Example: write the mesh equation for the network shown


    below.(all resistors value are in ohm)

    I1(10+8)-I2(8)-I30=2-4……………1
    -I1(8)+I2(8+5+4)-I3(4)=4………….2
    I1(0)-I2(4)+I3(4+20)=2…………….3
    Solve the aboe equation we obtain:

    1
    I1=-0.54A ,I2=0.92 A ,I3=0.678 A
    Example:find the current through the 10 ohm resistor.

    Solution:
    Loop1 (8+3)I1-(3)I2-(8)I3=15
    Loop2 -(3)I1+(3+5+2)I2-(5)I3=0
    Loop3 -(8)I3-(5)I2+(8+5+10)I3=0
    Rewrite the above equation
    11I1-3I2-8I3=15
    -3I1+10I2-5I3=0
    -8I3- 5I2+2I3=0
    The current through 10 ohm resistor is I3 and can be
    determined using the detreminates

    I3=1.220 A

    Example for the circuit shown below write down the loope
    equation the determine the currents value(Thomas .L.Floyd)

    (330+300)IA-330IB-300IC=12…………loop1
    -330IA+(330+360+1000)IB-1000IC=0………loop2
    -300IA-1000IB+(1000+300+390)IC=0………loop3
    Rewrit the above equations
    630IA-330IB-300IC=12
    -330IA+1690IB-1000IC=0
    -300IA-1000IB+169IC=0
    (SOLVE THE ABOVE EQUATIONS
    USING DETERMENATES(HW))
    IA=35.1 mA
    IB=16.2 mA
    IC=15.8 mA

    Example Write the loop equation for the circuit shown below

    (8+10+16)I1-10I2-16I3=0

    -10I1+(10+12+4)I2-4I4=0

    -16I1+(20+16+20)I3-2I4=-20

    -4I2-2I3+(2+4+6)I4=20

    H.W solve the above equation to find out I1,I2,I3&I4

    1) Convert all voltage sources to current sources.

    2) assign circuit nodes and assign one of this nodes ass a references node.

    3) write the nodal equation as below:

    V1∑Gnode1-V2∑Gbetween node1&2-..-Vn∑Gbetween node1&n= ∑Inode1…..(1)


    -V1∑Gbetween node1&2+ V2∑Gnode2-…..-Vn∑Gbetween node2&n= ∑Inode2…(2)
    . . . .
    . . . .
    -V1∑Gbetwwen node1&n- V2∑Gbetween noden&2-….+Vn∑Gnoden=∑Inoden….(n)

    Were G=1/R

    4) Solve the above equation to find out the current value


    (v1,v2…….vn )

    resistor for circuit shown below

    (1/2+1/10+1/6)v1-(1/2)v2-(1/10)v3=0…………node1

    -(1/2)v1+(1/2+1/3)v2-(1/3)v3=3……………….node2

    -(1/10)v1-(1/3)v2+(1/3+1/10+1/4)v3=0………node3

    Rewrite the above equation

    -0.5v1+0.8333v2-0.333v3=0.333

    -0.1v1-0.333v2+0.683v3=0

    Solve the aove equation to find v1,v2 and v3

    V1=8.11 volt,v2=11.11volt and v3=6,61 volt
