Nodal voltage analysis examples

    • How do you do a nodal analysis of a circuit?

      • Given a circuit with n nodes without voltage sources, the nodal analysis of the circuit involves the following steps: 1. Select a node as the reference node. Assign voltages v 1 ,v 2 ,,v n-1 to the remaining n-1 nodes. The voltages are referenced with respect to the reference node. 2. Apply KCL to each of the n-1nonrefernce nodes.


    • What is a nodal voltage?

      Nodal Voltage: The voltage of a node referenced to ground. The objective of nodal analysis is to find all the nodal voltages. If you know the voltage at a node then it's a "known" node. Ground is a known node (duh, it's zero). If one end of a known voltage source hooked to ground, then the node on the other end is also known (another duh).


    • What is the difference between a nodal analysis and a loop analysis?

      In a nodal analysis the unknown parameters are the node voltages, and KCL is employed to de- termine them. In contrast to this approach, a loop analysis uses KVL to determine currents in the circuit. Once the currents are known, Ohm’s law can be used to calculate the voltages.


    • What is a reference node voltage?

      The circuit in Fig. 3.3 illustrates a portion of a network containing three nodes, one of which is the reference node. An illustration of node voltages. The voltage V1 = 4 V is the voltage at node 1 with respect to the reference node 3. Simi- larly, the voltage V2 = -2 V is the voltage at node 2 with respect to node 3.

      VA IR VB Figure + VR 1: Resistor Voltage and Current In Figure A-1, the voltage across the resistor is VR = VA-VB, as we saw in the previous laboratory. Likewise, the current through the resistor is IR = VR/R. We can then use the voltage difference expression and rewrite the current − through the resistor as, I = VA VB .

      Example 2- Nodal Voltage Analysis Using Gaussian Elimination N2 is the reference node as so the voltage is 0V. Node Equations: (V 1/30) + (V 1-100)/5 + (V 1-V 3)/10 = 0 (V 3 -V 1)/10 + V 3/10 + (V 3-100)/20 = 0 Collect terms: [(1/30) + (1/5) + (1/10)] V 1 – (1/10) V 3 = 20 (-1/10) V 1 + [(1/10) + (1/10) + (1/20)] V 3 = 5 (1/3) V 1 – (1/10 ...

      In a nodal analysis we employ KCL to determine the node voltages, and in a loop analysis we use KVL to determine the loop currents. We present and discuss a very important commercially available circuit known as the operational amplifier, or op-amp.
