2 4.1 Motivation (1) If you are given the following circuit, how can we determine: 1) the voltage across each resistor, 2) current through each resistor, and 3) power generated by each current source, etc. What are the things which we need to know in order to determine the answers? 2
3 4.1 Motivation (2) Things we need to know in solving any resistive circuit with current and voltage sources only: Kirchhoff s Current Laws (KCL) Kirchhoff s Voltage Laws (KVL) Ohm s Law How should we apply these laws to determine the answers? To apply these laws to developed two powerful techniques for circuit analysis: 1) Nodal voltage analysis: based on a systematic application of KCL, and 2) Mesh current analysis: based on a systematic application of KVL. 3
4 4.2 Nodal Voltage Analysis (1) It provides a general procedure for analyzing circuits using node voltages as the circuit variables. Steps to determine the node voltages: 1. Select a node as the reference node. Common Ground Chassis ground ground 2. Assign voltages v 1, v 2,, v n-1 to the remaining n-1 nodes. The voltages are referenced with respect to the reference node. 3. Apply KCL to each of the n-1 nonreference nodes. Use Ohm s law to express the branch currents in terms of node voltages. 4. Solve the resulting simultaneous equations to obtain the unknown node voltages. 4

13 4.4 Nodal Voltage Analysis w Voltage Source (2) KVL at the loop with the supernode: -v v 3 = 0 We analyze a circuit with supernodes using the same three steps mentioned above except that the supernodes are treated differently. Basic steps: 1. Take off all voltage sources in supernodes and apply KCL to supernodes. 2. Put voltage sources back to the nodes and apply KVL to relative 13 loops.

17 4.5 Mesh Current Analysis (1) 1. Mesh current analysis provides another general procedure for analyzing circuits using mesh currents as the circuit variables. 2. Nodal analysis applies KCL to find unknown voltages in a given circuit, while mesh analysis applies KVL to find unknown currents. 3. A mesh is a loop which does not contain any other loops within it. 4. Mesh analysis is only applicable to a circuit that is planar. Note: A planar circuit is one that can be drawn in a plane with no branches crossing one another. planar nonplanar redrawn 17
18 4.5 Mesh Current Analysis (2) Mesh: paths abefa & bcdeb Not a mesh: path abcdefa Mesh current: the current through a mesh. i 1 & i 2 are mesh current (imaginative, not measurable directly) I 1, I 2, & I 3 are branch current (real, measurable directly) I 1 = i 1 ; I 2 = i 2 ; I 3 = i 1 -i 2 Steps to determine the mesh currents: 1. Assign mesh currents i 1, i 2,, i n to the n meshes. 2. Apply KVL to each of the n meshes. Use Ohm s law to express the voltages in terms of the mesh currents. 3. Solve the resulting n simultaneous Eqs to get the mesh currents. 18
19 4.5 Mesh Current Analysis (3) Example: Circuit with dependent voltage source, to find I 0 3. Solve the 3 Eqs to get the mesh currents 1. Assign mesh currents i 1, i 2, & i 3 2. Apply KVL to each of the 3 meshes with Ohm s law to express the voltages in terms of i 1, i 2, & i 3 at mesh 1: at mesh 2: at mesh 3: 19
20 4.6 Mesh Current Analysis w Current Source (1) Example: Circuit with current and voltage sources Case 2 When a current source exists btw two mesh. We create a supermesh by excluding the current source and any elements connected in series with it. A supermesh results when two meshes have a (dependent or independent) current source in common. Applying KVL to the supermesh: i i 2 + 4i 2 = 0 Applying KCL to a node in the branch where the two meshes intersect: 20 i 2 = i 1 + 6
21 4.6 Mesh Current Analysis w Current Source (2) Circuit with a supermesh that incorporates mesh 1 and mesh 2. A supermesh is one larger mesh created from two meshes that have an independent or dependent current source in common. Then the three equation may be reduced to supermash : 1i 5i 4i mesh 3: 1i 3i 6i current source : 1i 1i i 2 = 2.5A i 1 = 7.5 A i 3 = 2.5A 21
22 4.6 Mesh Current Analysis w Current Source (3) 22
23 4.6 Mesh Current Analysis w Current Source (4) Example: Circuit with voltage and dependent current sources When a circuit contains a dependent source the controlling current or voltage of that dependent source must be expressed as a function of the mesh currents. The controlling current of the dependent source, i a, is the current in a short circuit. This short circuit is common to meshes 1 and 2. The short circuit current can be expressed in terms of the mesh currents as ia i1 i2 The dependent source is in only one mesh, mesh 2. The reference direction of the dependent source current does not agree with the reference direction of i 2 as 5i i 23 a 2

25 4.7 Nodal & Mesh Analysis with Inspection (1) Example: By inspection, write the nodal voltage equations A circuit with only independent current sources has N nonreference nodes, the node voltage equations can be written in terms of the conductances as 25
26 4.7 Nodal & Mesh Analysis with Inspection (2) Example: By inspection, write the mesh current A circuit with only independent voltage sources has N meshes, the mesh current equations can be written in terms of the resistances as 26
27 4.8 Nodal versus Mesh Analysis To select the method that results in the smaller number of equations. For example: 1. Choose nodal analysis for circuit with fewer nodes than meshes. *Choose mesh analysis for circuit with fewer meshes than nodes. *Networks that contain many series connected elements, voltage sources, or supermeshes are more suitable for mesh analysis. *Networks with parallel connected elements, current sources, or supernodes are more suitable for nodal analysis. 2. If node voltages are required, it may be expedient to apply nodal analysis. If branch or mesh currents are required, it may be better to use mesh analysis. 27
28 4.9 Summary (1) The node voltage method of circuit analysis identifies as the nodes of a circuit where two or more elements are connected. When the circuit consists of only resistors and current sources, the following procedure is used to obtain the node equations. 1. We choose one node as to the reference node. Label the node voltages at the other nodes. 2. Express element currents as functions of the node voltages. Figure illustrates the relationship between the current in a resistor and the voltages at the nodes of the resistor. 3. Apply KCL at all nodes except for the reference node. Solution of the simultaneous equations results in knowledge of the node voltages. All the voltages and currents in the circuit can be determined when the node voltages are known. 28
29 4.9 Summary (2) When a circuit has voltage sources as well as current sources, we can still use the node voltage method by using the concept of a supernode. A supernode is a large node that includes two nodes connected by a known voltage source. If the voltage source is directly connected between a node q and the reference node, we may set v q = v s, and write the KCL equations at the remaining nodes. If the circuit contains a dependent source, we first express the controlling voltage or current of the dependent source as a function of the node voltages. Next, we express the controlled voltage or current as a function of the node voltages. Finally, we apply KCL to nodes and supernodes. 29
30 4.9 Summary (3) Mesh current analysis is accomplished by applying KVL to the meshes of a planar circuit. When the circuit consists of only resistors and voltage sources, the following procedure is used to obtain the mesh equations. 1. Label the mesh currents. 2. Express element voltages as functions of the mesh currents. Figure illustrates the relationship between the voltage across a resistor and the currents of the meshes that include the resistor. 3. Apply KVL to all meshes. Solution of the simultaneous equations results in knowledge of the mesh currents. All the voltages and currents in the circuit can be determined when the mesh currents are known. 30
31 4.9 Summary (4) If a current source is common to two adjoining meshes, we define the interior of the two meshes as a supermesh. We then write the mesh current equation around the periphery of the supermesh. If a current source appears at the periphery of only one mesh, mesh current as equal to the current of the source, accounting for the direction of the current source. If the circuit contains a dependent source, we first express the controlling voltage or current of the dependent source as a function of the mesh currents. Next, we express the controlled voltage or current as a function of the mesh currents. Finally, we apply KVL to meshes and supermeshes. Either node voltage or mesh current analysis can be used to obtain the currents or voltages in a circuit. However, a circuit with fewer node equation than mesh current equations may require that we select the node voltage method. 31
