    Experiment #2

    Mesh, Nodal, and Thevenin Circuit Analysis

    Introduction

    The objective of this lab experiment is to introduce Mesh and Nodal analysis to circuits analysis by
    experimentally verifying them.

    Using the following equipment:

    - 4 resistors (1k, 2k, 3k2)


    - 2 DC power supplies (6V and 10 V)
    - 1 Multimeter
    - 1 Breadboard
    - Wires

    Theory

    Circuit analysis use different concept of analysis depending on how many components are used within a
    circuit. If a circuit contains no more than one source and few resistors, then ohms law is used. But when
    component are several, its better to used Mesh and Nodal analysis to solve for the current or the
    voltage.

    Mesh Analysis: is a method of circuit analysis which uses simultaneous equations, Kirchhoff's voltage
    law, and Ohm's law to solve for the voltages and currents at any point in a circuit. When applying Mesh
    around a circuit, we usually assign a loop current to each loop, clockwise or counterclockwise.

    Vi = RIi

    Nodal Analysis: is a method of circuit analysis used to find voltage between any node. Each node is a
    point where elements of branch connect together, in nodal analysis, its usually 3 branches. Nodal is
    used generally to solve for the voltages and currents at any point in a circuit using multiple equations.

    Thevenin: is a model that simplifies the circuit. A complex circuit is reduced to an independent voltage
    source in series with a resistor. It states that any combination of voltage sources, current sources and
    resistors with two terminals is equivalent to a single voltage source and a single series resistor.

    Procedure

    The following circuit was built on the breadboard using two DC power supplies. The 10 V source was
    used from the breadboard and the 6 V source was used from an outside power supply. All resistors were
    set accordingly and the 6 V source was connected in series with R4. To determine current, resistance and
    voltage, the same methods used in lab1 experiment were used.
    In the following circuit, both power supplies were disconnected and the circuit terminals were shorted
    where the supplies were originally
    inally connected to the circuit. Then the total resistance in the circuit was
    measured.

    Analysis and Conclusion

    The data results collected during the lab experiment were very close to the values
    calculated since the percent error for all values calculated was less than 5%. The
    objective of this laboratory experiment was well understood and the measurements
    done on the board made more understandable the concepts of Mesh Analysis, Nodal
    Analysis and Thevenin.
