6th Afif S.Abugharsa Methods of Analysis (dc) • Methods of analysis have been developed that allow us to approach, in a systematic manner, a network with any number of sources in any arrangement. • The methods to be discussed in detail in this chapter include mesh analysis, and nodal analysis. MESH ANALYSIS (GENERAL APPROACH)
• The systematic approach outlined below should
be followed when applying this method: 1. Assign a distinct current in the clockwise direction to each independent, closed loop of the network. 2. Indicate the polarities within each loop for each resistor as determined by the assumed direction of loop current for that loop. 3. Apply Kirchhoff’s voltage law around each closed loop in the clockwise direction. 4. Solve the resulting simultaneous linear equations for the assumed loop currents. Solving Systems of Equations Using Determinants
The method of solution of linear equations by determinants is called the
Cramer’s Rule. A system of two linear equations in two unknowns may be solved using a second order det. Given the system of equations a1x + b1y = c1 a2x + b2y = c2 These values for x and y may be written in terms of second order dets, as follows: EXAMPLE: • Step 1: Two loop currents (I1 and I2) are assigned in the clockwise direction in the windows of the network. • Step 2: Polarities are drawn within each window to agree with assumed current directions. • Step 3: Kirchhoff’s voltage law is applied around each loop in the clockwise direction. EXAMPLE Find the current through each branch of the network below:
Solution: EXAMPLE Find the branch currents of the network below. Solution: NODAL ANALYSIS
The nodal analysis method is applied as follows:
1. Determine the number of nodes within the network. 2. Pick a reference node, and label each remaining node with a subscripted value of voltage: V1, V2, and so on, Assume that all unknown currents leave the node for each application of Kirchhoff’s current law. 3. Apply Kirchhoff’s current law at each node except the reference. 4. Solve the resulting equations for the nodal voltages. EXAMPLE Apply nodal analysis to the network below. Solution: Steps 1 and 2: The network has two nodes, The lower node is defined as the reference node at ground potential (zero volts), and the other node as V1. EXAMPLE Apply nodal analysis to the network of Fig. 8.43. Solution : EXAMPLE Determine the nodal voltages for the network as following:
