ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS
The voltages VAO, VBO, and VAB satisfy the KVL relation:
The node voltages VA and VB are the voltage drops from A to O and B to O,
respectively.

Find the current delivered by the 10-V source and the voltage across the 10-Ω
resistance in the circuit shown in Figure by means of nodal analysis.
Solution
STEP 1: Replace all voltage sources with series resistances by their corresponding
Norton equivalents consisting of current sources with shunt conductances.
The given circuit is redrawn in the Figure by replacing all resistors by their
equivalent conductances.

• If there is voltage source with no serial resistances, the nodes connected by this
voltage source called constrained nodes, that is, the difference in potential
between the two node voltages is constrained by a voltage source. The circle that
has more than one nodes behaves as a node and called a supernode.
Example:
Nodes B and C are constrained nodes and VB and VC are not independent.
VB − VC = 24 V (1)
A supernode, which includes the voltage source and the two nodes B and C, must be
also hold KCL that is, the algebraic sum of the currents entering or leaving the
supernode must be zero
IA − IB − IC + 4 =0

Example 2 - Solution
IA − IB − IC + 4 =0 →
VB + VC = 10 (2)
VB − VC = 24 V (1)
VB = 17 V VC = −7 V
VB + VC = 10 (2)
Loop 1:
(5 + 8 + 20)I1 − 20I2 − 8I3 = 10
→ 33 I1 − 20I2 − 8I3 = 10
Loop 2:
−20I1 + (20 + 10 + 25)I2 − 10I3 = 0
→ −20 I1 + 55 I2 – 10 I3 = 0
• If there is a current source without no shunt resistance, the two mesh currents
are constrained by this current source, then the loop which is combination of the
meshes that contains the current source is called a supermesh.
EXAMPLE
I2 − I1 = 5
1 I1 + 2 (I1 − I3) + 4 (I2 − I3) + 10 = 0
3 I3 + 4 (I3 − I2) + 2 (I3 − I1) = 0
The current delivered by the 10-V source is −I2 = −20/9 A. The 10-V source is absorbing the current
20/9 A.
Find the current in the 5V source and the voltage across the 5Ω resistor by using
(a) the mesh-current method
(b) the node-voltage method.
Result:
VA = 2.266V ;
VB = 1.173;
VC = −1.564 V
Voltage V across the 5Ω resistor VC = −1.564 V
The current I through the 5-V source: 5 – 10 I = VA = 2.266 → I = 0.273 A
