ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS Mesh-current analysis (Maxwell's Theorem) AND Nodal analysis Mesh-current and Nodal analysis may be applied to both d.c. and a.c. circuits. C Kqwerawera 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS Mesh-current analysis Mesh-current analysis is merely an extension of the use of Kirchhoff's laws. The figure shows a network whose circulating mesh currents or loop currents I, I, and I, have been assigned to closed loops in the circuit rather than to branches. 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS Use mesh-current analysis to determine the current flowing in (a) the 5 Q, resistance, and (6) the 1 Q resistance of the d.c. circuit 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS Using the mesh currents I,, 1, and I, shown and Kirchhoff 's voltage law: (3 +5), โ3lo=โ4 (4414645)loโ (5), โ (Ds = 0 (148) โ (lp = โ5 81, โ 5I> โ4=0 โ Sf, + 16/2 โTIs3 =O 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS Using determinants qy โt2 Ts โ5 oO โ4/ | 8 o โ4|/ |s8 โ5 โ4 16 โ1 O โ5 -โ1 0 โ5 16 O โ1 9 5 oO 9 5 Oo -1 5 โ1 โTs โ5 O โ5 16 โ1 o -1 9 I _ Is โ1 0 16. โ1l); ~|;โ1 O โ5 โI sl 5|-4 | 5 sl-4lo 9 | 9 5 -1 9 9 5 o 9 -a] ie] | 8 Ve oO -1 โ5 16 โ1 ~ "716 โ1 โ5 โI1 Sl_1 og | +5| o 9 | 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS The End ยฐ ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS Nodal voltage analysis ยฐ Nodal voltage analysis may be applied to both d.c. and a.c. circuits. Nodal analysis * A node of a network is defined as a point where two or more branches are joined. If three or more branches join at a node, then that node is called a principal node or junction. * Anode voltage is the voltage of a particular node with respect to a node called the reference node. ยฐ If, for example, node 3 is chosen as the reference node then V,; is assumed to mean the voltage at node 1 with respect to node 3. 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS 12 The reference node is at point A ViaVe Vi Vin 8โยฅs At node 1, = BV 1 6 5 50 โ r__] CO ie., 1.367V; โ V; โ0.2V;โ1.6=0 62 A 4 oo 3 V, Vo-V,; Vo-V At node 2, 2,2 t,o Sug 2 l 3 12 2Q ie, -V, +1.833V, โ 0.333V; +0=0 2 32 V; V3;-V> V3+8-V; Atnode 3, โ+โ 4+โ+โ_ =0 4 3 5 ie, โ0.2V, โ 0.333V>+0.783V3+1.6=0 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS 15 Vy โV2 = โ0.2 โ16|] [1.367 โ02 โ16 1.833 โ0.333 0 -1 -0333 0 โ0.333 0.783 1.6 -0.2 0.783 16 V3 -1 ~ 11367 โ1 โ1.6) 11367. โ!1 โ0.2 -1 1.833 0 -1 1,833 โ0,333 -0.2 0.333 1.6 0.2 โ0.333 0.783 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS 16 Solving for V, -V> Solving for V> gives: โ 1.6(โ0.8496) + 1.6(โ0.6552) โl ~ 1.367(1.3244) + 1(โ0.8496) โ 0.2(0.6996) -V -l 0.31104 hence > from which, voltage, V, = 0.31104 = 0.82093 0.82093 = 0.3789 V Thus the current in the 2 @ resistor = 2 = = = 0.19 A, flowing from node 2 to node A. 07/26/2021 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS 17
