Steps to Determine Node Voltages:
Select a node as the reference node(ground), define the
node voltages V1, V2,… Vn-1 to the remaining n-1nodes .
The voltages are referenced with respect to the reference
node.
Apply KCL to each of the n-1 independent nodes. Use
Ohm’s law to express the branch currents in terms of node
voltages.
Solve the resulting simultaneous equations to obtain the
unknown node voltages.

Mesh Analysis
Steps to Determine Mesh Currents:
1. Assign mesh currents i1, i2,…in to the n meshes.
2. Apply KVL to each of the n meshes. Use Ohm’s
law to express the voltages in terms of the mesh
currents.
3. Solve the resulting n simultaneous equations to
get the mesh currents.
And then you can get all voltages and currents on any
branch.

Both provide a systematic way of analyzing a complex
network.
When is the nodal method preferred to the mesh
method?
A circuit with fewer nodes than meshes is better
analyzed using nodal analysis, while a circuit with fewer
meshes than nodes is better analyzed using mesh
analysis.
Based on the information required.
Node voltages required--------nodal analysis
Branch or mesh currents required-------mesh

Topological Properties
Topological Concepts:
1. Graph:
Assigned
Graph:
Subgraph:
Connected
Graph:
Consists of redrawing the circuit, with a line
representing each branch of the network.
A graph with assigned branch variables.
A graph G1 is said to be a subgraph of the graph
G if all the nodes and branches in G1 are also in
G and if each branch in G1 has the same end
nodes as in G.
A graph G is said to be a connected graph if
between any two nodes in graph G there is at
least one path.

Topological Properties
Topological Concepts:
2. Tree: A tree T is defined as a subgraph of a connected
graph G in the following conditions.
1) It must be a connected graph
2) It contains no loops
3) It includes all nodes of graph G
Tree branches: the branches of a tree
Cotree (complementary tree): the remaining part of a tree in
graph G
Links: the braches of a cotree
