    An examination of these equations reveals a pattern that will allow nodal equations to be
    written directly by inspection by following the rules given here for a network containing no
    dependent sources.





  1. For the equation of nodeA, the coefficient ofVAis the positive sum of the conductances
    connected to nodeA; the coefficient ofVBis the negative sum of the conductances
    connected between nodesAandB. The right-hand side of the equation is the sum of
    the current sources feeding into nodeA.

  2. For the equation of nodeB, a similar situation exists. Notice the coefficient ofVBto be
    the positive sum of the conductances connected to nodeB; the coefficient ofVAis the
    negative sum of the conductances connected betweenBandA. The right-hand side of the
    equation is the sum of the current sources feeding into nodeB.
    Such a formal systematic procedure will result in a set ofNindependent equations of the
    following form for a network with (N+1) nodes containing no dependent sources:
    G 11 V 1 − G 12 V 2 − ··· − G 1 NVN = I 1
    −G 21 V 1 + G 22 V 2 − ··· − G 2 NVN = I 2

whereGNNis the sum of all conductances connected to nodeN,GJK=GKJis the sum of all
conductances connected between nodesJandK, andINis the sum of all current sources entering
nodeN. By solving the equations for the unknown node voltages, other voltages and currents in
the circuit can easily be determined.
