●Circuits do not contain voltage sources. C
Steps to Determine Node Voltages:
1. Select a node as the reference node. Assign voltages
v1 , v2,.., to the remaining n – 1 nodes. The voltages are
referenced with respect to the reference node.
2. Apply KCL to each of the n - 1 non reference nodes. Use
Ohm’s law to express the branch currents in terms of
node voltages.
3. Solve the resulting equations to obtain the node voltages.
The reference node is called the ground,
since it is assumed to have zero voltage.
node#1:
I1=I2 +i1 + i2
node #2:
I2 + i2 = i3
2- Apply Ohm’s law to express the unknown currents
i1, i2, and i3 in terms of node voltages.
i1 = v1/R1
i2 = (v1 –v2)/R2
i3 = v2/R3
3- Solve for the node voltages (v1, v2).
i1 = v1/R1
i2 = (v1 –v2)/R2
i3 =step
The third v2/Rin 3nodal analysis is to solve for the node voltages.
Example 1:
Calculate the node voltages in the
circuit shown in Figure.
Solution:
i1 = i2 + i3
5=(v1-v2)/4 + v1/2
20 = 3v1-v2 (1)
At node 2,
i2 + i4 = i1 + i5
v1=13.33 V, v2=20 V
node 2:
node 3:
ix = (v1 – v2)/2
v2- v3 = 5 V. C
Applying KCL at the supernode:
i1 + i4 =i2 + i3
= v2/8 + v3/6
a- Node voltages:
At supernode:
v2 – v1 =2 (1)
Applying KCL, gives
2 = i1 + i2 + 7
-5= v1/2 + v2/4
2v1 + v2 = -20 (2)
v1= -7.33 V , v2= -5.33 V
b- Current outs from supernode:
isn = v2/4 + (v2-v1)/10 +7
= 5.86 A
c- Power delivered by 2A
current source:
P= I.V=2.v1 = -14.66 W
= 14.66 W (absorbed power)
Power delivered by 7A Current
