DC Network Theorems Unit 4 – Kirchhoff's Loop Equations
Exercise 2 – Node Equations
EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
When you have completed this exercise, you will be able to generate node equations for a
series/parallel circuit. You will verify your results by measuring voltage drops and ensuring that
the loop equations equal zero.
DISCUSSION
- Currents flowing into or out of nodes can be used to determine current distribution.
- Node equations apply Kirchhoff’s current law.
