Nodal Analysis vs. Mesh Analysis
Applications
Introduction
• Nodal Analysis
– Based on KCL
• Mesh Analysis
– Based on KVL
• Linear algebra is applied to solve the
resulting simultaneous equations.
– Ax=B, x=A-1B
Nodal Analysis
• Circuit variables = node voltages
• Steps to determine node voltages
– Select a reference node, assign voltages v1, v2,…,
vn-1 for the remaining n-1 nodes
– Use Ohm’s law to express currents of resistors
– Apply KCL to each of the n-1 nodes
– Solve the resulting equations

Nodal Analysis with Voltage Sources
• If a voltage source is connected
between a nonreference node
and the reference node (or
ground)
– The node voltage is defined by
the voltage source
– Number of variables is reduced
– Simplified analysis
Continued
• If a voltage source is
connected between two
nonreference nodes
– The two nodes form a
supernode
– Apply KCL to the supernode
(similar to a closed boundary)
– Apply KVL to derive the
relationship between the two
nodes
