DC Circuit Analysis

Nodal Analysis
Nodal Analysis
Nodal analysis is a general method for simplifying circuit analysis by using node voltages as circuit variables. Consider a circuit with three nodes and ...
Nodal Analysis with Voltage Sources
Nodal Analysis with Voltage Sources
Nodal analysis can effectively simplify the analysis of circuits having dependent or independent voltage sources. Consider a circuit with four resistors ...
Mesh Analysis
Mesh Analysis
Mesh analysis is a convenient method that employs mesh currents as circuit variables, effectively reducing the number of simultaneous equations involved ...
Mesh Analysis with Current Sources
Mesh Analysis with Current Sources
Mesh analysis is simpler in circuits with current sources because they require fewer equations for analysis. Consider a two-mesh circuit with a current ...
Source Transformation
Source Transformation
The source transformation technique enables the conversion of a voltage source in series with a resistor into an equivalent current source in parallel ...
Linear Circuits
Linear Circuits
Consider a resistor connected to a variable voltage source. As the voltage is increased, the corresponding current value is recorded. The graphical ...
Superposition Theorem
Superposition Theorem
The superposition theorem is used in circuits with multiple independent sources. To apply this theorem, keep one independent source at a time while ...
Thevinin's Theorem
Thevinin's Theorem
Thevenin's theorem states that any linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit with a single voltage source in series with a ...
Norton's Theorem
Norton's Theorem
Norton's theorem states that any linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single current source in ...
Maximum Power Transfer
Maximum Power Transfer
In practical applications, a circuit is designed to deliver maximum power from a source to a load. A Thevenin equivalent circuit can determine the maximum ...
