Nodes, Branches, Paths and Loops
Problem: Determine the number of nodes, braches, and loops.
Node—a point at which two or more elements have a common connection
Branch—a single path in a network composed of one circuit element and a node at each end
Path—a route through a network starting at one node to the next node and subsequent nodes without
encountering any node more than once
Loop—a path that starts and ends at the same node
Answer: 4 Nodes, 5 Branches, 3 Loops
