These node voltages represent the voltage be-tween the node and the reference. Now, we define node voltages for the remaining nodes as de-picted in Fig. Lets choose one as the reference node (Fig. These arethe best candidates to be reference point. Two of the nodes have 4 elements connected to them. 3.īasic Engineering Circuit Analy-sisby: J. Lets find and label node voltages for the circuit shown in Fig. To keep definition simple, node volt-ages are usually defined with positive polarities. The voltage drop from a node to the reference node (ground) iscalled the node voltage. Node Voltagessee comments, ask your questions As a gen-eral rule, it is usually chosen to be 1.Īs mentioned, the selection of the reference node is arbitrary.However, a wise selection can make the solving easier. The symbol of reference node is depicted in Fig. The reference node has a potential of 0V by defi-nition. In circuits, we usually label a node as the reference node alsocalled ground and define the other node voltages with respectto this point. Reference Nodesee comments, ask your questions Thesenode voltages can be used with the Ohms law to determine allcurrents in the circuit. The solution of thisset of equations yields the N 1 unknown node voltages. Since one of the nodes is selected as the refer-ence node, if there are N nodes in the circuit there will be N 1linearly independent equations in general. The nodal analysis starts with selecting one of the nodes as thereference node. After determining these nodal voltages,the currents in the various branches of the circuit can be easilyfound.

The set ofequations developed in the nodal analysis in fact represents anddescribes the circuit. In this method, a sys-tem of equations in which the unknowns are the voltages at theprincipal nodes of the circuit is set up and solved. In Nodal analysis, also called node-voltage analysisor branch-current method, the voltage between nodes is deter-mined in terms of the branch currents. IntroductionNodal analysis is a systematic method to determine the voltageat each node relative to the reference node by repeatedly ap-plying KCL. 4140 Preoblem 7 - PSpice simulation result. 4039 Preoblem 7 - Current directions and voltage polarities for 3837 Preoblem 7 - The reference node and node voltages. 3334 Preoblem 6 - PSpice simulation result. 3233 Preoblem 6 - The reference node and node voltages. 2930 Preoblem 5 - PSpice simulation result. 2829 Preoblem 5 - The reference node and node voltages. 2626 Preoblem 4 - PSpice simulation result. 2222 Preoblem 2 - PSpice simulation result. 2021 Problem 3 - Applying KVL to determine Vy.
