Nodal Analysis 1. Nodal analysis can be applied for the planner and non-planner networks 2. Nodal analysis is based on the application of KCL Note: 1. A principle node is a point where more than two branches are connected. 2. A simple node is a point where two branches are connected. The procedure of nodal analysis: Step 1: Identify the total no. of principle nodes Step 2: Assign voltages to each principle node and take one of the nodes as a reference node Step 3: Develop KCL equations for each node(except for reference node) Step 4: Solve the KCL equations to get node voltages A special case of nodal analysis(Supernode) A supernode exists in a circuit when two non-reference nodes separated by a pure voltage source The procedure of super nodal analysis: Step 1: Identify the total no. of principle nodes Step 2: Assign voltages to each principle node and take one of the nodes as a reference node Step 3: If super node found, then develop KCL equation for supernode and re
