    The document describes the process of nodal analysis, which uses Kirchhoff's current law to write equations relating the currents entering and leaving each node in a circuit and then solves these equations to find the voltage at each node. It explains that one node is chosen as the reference node and the voltages at the other nodes are written in terms of the reference node, then nodal equations are written for each node and solved to obtain the node voltages. The conclusion verifies that nodal analysis was used correctly to calculate voltage drops across resistors in a circuit.

    Nodal Analysis
    Nodal Analysis
    Aim: To perform and verify Nodal Analysis.
    Theory:
    • Nodal Voltage Analysis uses the “Nodal” equations of
    Kirchhoff’s first law to find the voltage potentials around the
    circuit. So by adding together all these nodal voltages the net
    result will be equal to zero. Then, if there are “n” nodes in the
    circuit there will be “n-1” independent nodal equations and these
    alone are sufficient to describe and hence solve the circuit.

    • At each node point write down Kirchhoff’s first law equation, that
    is: “the currents entering a node are exactly equal in value to the
    currents leaving the node” then express each current in terms of
    the voltage across the branch. For “n” nodes, one node will be
    used as the reference node and all the other voltages will be
    referenced or measured with respect to this common node.
    Nodal Analysis
    Procedure of Nodal Analysis
    Procedure of Nodal Analysis:

    Step 1 − Identify the principal nodes and choose one of them


    as reference node. We will treat that reference node as the
    Ground.

    Step 2 − Label the node voltages with respect to Ground from all
    the principal nodes except the reference node.

    Step 3 − Write nodal equations at all the principal nodes except


    the reference node. Nodal equation is obtained by applying KCL
    first and then Ohm’s law.

    Step 4 − Solve the nodal equations obtained in Step 3 in order to


    get the node voltages.
