Circuit Analysis using Series/Parallel Equivalents
  1. Begin by locating a combination of resistances
    that are in series or parallel. Often the place
    to start is farthest from the source.
  2. Redraw the circuit with the equivalent resistance
    for the combination found in step 1.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the circuit is reduced
    as far as possible. Often (but not always) we
    end up with a single source and a single
    resistance.
  4. Solve for the currents and voltages in the final
    equivalent circuit.

Circuits with Voltage Sources
  • We obtain dependent equations if we use all of
    the nodes in a network to write KCL equations.
  • Any branch with a voltage source
  • define SUPERNODE, sum all current either in or
    out at the supernode with KCL
  • use KVL to set up dependent equation involving
    the voltage source.

Node-Voltage Analysis with a Dependent Source
  • First, we write KCL equations at each node,
    including the current of the controlled source
    just as if it were an ordinary current source.
  • Next, we find an expression for the controlling
    variable ix in terms of the node voltages.

Node-Voltage Analysis
1. Select a reference node and assign variables
for the unknown node voltages. If the reference
node is chosen at one end of an independent
voltage source, one node voltage is known at the
start, and fewer need to be computed.
2. Write network equations. First, use KCL to
write current equations for nodes and supernodes.
Write as many current equations as you can
without using all of the nodes. Then if you do
not have enough equations because of voltage
sources connected between nodes, use KVL to write
additional equations.
3. If the circuit contains dependent sources,
find expressions for the controlling variables in
terms of the node voltages. Substitute into the
network equations, and obtain equations having
only the node voltages as unknowns.
4. Put the equations into standard form and solve
for the node voltages. 5. Use the values found
for the node voltages to calculate any other
currents or voltages of interest.

Choosing the Mesh Currents
When several mesh currents flow through one
element, we consider the current in that element
to be the algebraic sum of the mesh currents.

Writing Equations to Solve for Mesh Currents
If a network contains only resistors and
independent voltage sources, we can write the
required equations by following each current
around its mesh and applying KVL.
52
For mesh 1, we have
For mesh 2, we obtain
For mesh 3, we have

Mesh Currents in Circuits Containing Current
Sources
A common mistake is to assume the voltages
across current sources are zero. Therefore, loop
equation cannot be set up at mesh one due to the
voltage across the current source is unknown
Anyway, the problem is still solvable.
55
As the current source common to two mesh,
combine meshes 1 and 2 into a supermesh. In other
words, we write a KVL equation around the
periphery of meshes 1 and 2 combined.
It is the supermesh.

Mesh-Current Analysis
1. If necessary, redraw the network without
crossing conductors or elements. Then define the
mesh currents flowing around each of the open
areas defined by the network. For consistency, we
usually select a clockwise direction for each of
the mesh currents, but this is not a requirement.
2. Write network equations, stopping after the
number of equations is equal to the number of
mesh currents. First, use KVL to write voltage
equations for meshes that do not contain current
sources. Next, if any current sources are
present, write expressions for their currents in
terms of the mesh currents. Finally, if a current
source is common to two meshes, write a KVL
equation for the supermesh.
3. If the circuit contains dependent sources,
find expressions for the controlling variables in
terms of the mesh currents. Substitute into the
network equations, and obtain equations having
only the mesh currents as unknowns.
4. Put the equations into standard form. Solve
for the mesh currents by use of determinants or
other means. 5. Use the values found for the mesh
currents to calculate any other currents or
voltages of interest.

Superposition
  • Superposition Theorem the response of a circuit
    to more than one source can be determined by
    analyzing the circuits response to each source
    (alone) and then combining the results

Use superposition to find the current ix.

Use superposition to find the current ix.
The controlled voltage source is included in all
cases as it is controlled by the current ix.

Finding the Thévenin Resistance Directly
When zeroing a voltage source, it becomes a short
circuit. When zeroing a current source, it
becomes an open circuit. We can find the
Thévenin resistance by zeroing the sources in the
original network and then computing the
resistance between the terminals.

    commonly used to predict the change in load
    voltage that will result from a change in load
    resistance

    variable load occurs when the load resistance
    equals the source resistance

    occurs when RL RTH
