Module 2 - Network Analysis

This document discusses various network analysis principles and theorems including: 1. Kirchhoff's laws - which describe how current flows at junction points and voltages in electrical circuit loops. 2. Maxwell's mesh analysis - an alternative method to Kirchhoff's laws that uses loop currents assigned to independent meshes to solve complex networks. 3. Nodal analysis - another method that uses Kirchhoff's laws at nodes to analyze electrical networks. It then provides examples applying these principles and theorems to calculate currents and voltages in various circuit diagrams.

KIRCHHOFF’S LAW
In 1845, German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff first described two laws
that became central to electrical engineering- the Kirchhoff's Current
Law (also known as Kirchhoff's Junction Law, and Kirchhoff's First Law)
and the Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law.

These laws are extremely useful in real life because they describe the
relation of values of currents that flow through a junction point and
voltages in an electrical circuit loop. They describe how electrical
current flows in all of the billions of electric appliances and devices, as
well as throughout homes and businesses, that are in use continually on
Earth.
KIRCHHOFF'S CURRENT LAW
The algebraic sum of currents at any node (or in general, any closed surface in an
electrical network) is zero. Here, currents entering and current leaving the node must
be assigned opposite algebraic signs.

The sum of currents entering a node must equal the sum of currents leaving this node.
 
a
KIRCHHOFF'S VOLTAGE LAW
When the current flows in an element
from the lower potential point towards a
higher potential point, a voltage rise is
encountered. Voltage drop is encountered
when the current flows in an element
from the higher potential terminals
toward the lower potential terminals, as
in the case of current flow through a load.

The algebraic sum of all voltage around


any closed loop in an electric circuit is
zero. Here a voltage rise may be taken
with a positive sign while a voltage drop
would be taken with a negative sign or
vice versa.

MESH ANALYSIS
The solution of complex networks are frequently be simplified by using a
system of loop or mesh current instead of branch currents of the frequently
(Kirchhoff’s Law) procedure. First proposed by James Clerk Maxwell. This
method involves a set of independent loop or mesh currents assigned to as
many meshes as exists in the circuit. The magnitude of the current passing
through in each resistor is the algebraic sum of the mesh currents passing
through it. This method is only applicable to a circuit that is planar.

A mesh is a loop which does not contain any other loops within it.

A super mesh results when two meshes have a (dependent or independent)


current source in common.
EXAMPLE 4

Maxwell Mesh Analysis.
