    5. 5 Some Basic Definitions Node – a place where two or more components meet Essential Node – a place where three or more components meet Reference Node – a special essential node that we choose as a reference point for voltages

    6. 6 Some Review (notes #2)– Nodes

    7. 7 How Many Nodes – Correct Answer The nodes are the darker blue shapes. The shape is unimportant to us; we can draw the circuit in many ways. The key here, for example, is that a voltage source, a current source, and a resistor called RF are connected to the bottom node.The nodes are the darker blue shapes. The shape is unimportant to us; we can draw the circuit in many ways. The key here, for example, is that a voltage source, a current source, and a resistor called RF are connected to the bottom node.

    8. 8 How Many Nodes – Wrong Answer In the example circuit schematic given here, the two red nodes are really the same node. There are not four nodes. Remember, two nodes connected by a wire are really only one node in the first place. Remember, two nodes connected by a wire were not really two nodes at all. It is all one node.Remember, two nodes connected by a wire were not really two nodes at all. It is all one node.

    9. 9 The Node-Voltage Method (NVM) The Node-Voltage Method (NVM) is a systematic way to write all the equations needed to solve a circuit, and to write just the number of equations needed. The idea is that any other current or voltage can be found from these node voltages. This method is not that important in very simple circuits, but in complicated circuits it gives us an approach that will get us all the equations that we need, and no extras. It is also good practice for the writing of KCL and KVL equations. Many students believe that they know how to do this, but make errors in more complicated situations. Our work on the NVM will help correct some of those errors.

    10. 10 The Node-Voltage Method (NVM) The Node-Voltage Method steps are: Find the essential nodes. Define one essential node as the reference node. Define the node voltages, the essential nodes with respect to the reference node. Label them. Apply KCL for each non-reference essential node. Write an equation for each current or voltage upon which dependent sources depend, as needed.

    11. 11 Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) – a Review The algebraic (or signed i.e with directions ) summation of currents through a closed surface (such as a node) must equal zero.

    12. 12 Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) – a Review Example For this set of material, we will always assign a positive sign to a term that refers to a current that leaves a node, and a negative sign to a term that refers to a current that enters a node. In this example, we have already assigned reference polarities for all of the currents for the nodes indicated by the arrows. For this circuit, and using my rule, we have the following equation: The node that we are using here is highlighted in darker blue.The node that we are using here is highlighted in darker blue.

    33. 33 How many node-voltage equations do I need to write? This is a very important question. It is a good idea to figure this out before beginning a problem. Then, you will know how many equations to write before you are done. The fundamental rule is this: If there are ne essential nodes, you need to write ne-1 equations. Remember that one essential node is the reference node, and we do not write a KCL equation for the reference node. If there are dependent sources present, then the number of equations has to increase. In general, each dependent source introduces a variable which is unknown. If v is the number of variables that dependent sources depend on, then you need to write ne -1+v equations.

    34. 34 What do we do when we have voltage sources? This is another important question. In general, a voltage source requires some special attention, since the current through it depends entirely on what it is connected to. We will develop a set of plans for dealing with this situation. We will lay out these plans in the next set of lecture notes.

    74. 74 How many node-voltage equations do we need to write? This has not changed. The presence or absence of voltage sources does not change the rules about the number or equations. In addition, it does not matter whether the voltage sources are dependent or independent. The fundamental rule is this: If there are ne essential nodes, you need to write ne-1 equations. Remember that one essential node is the reference node, and we do not write a KCL equation for the reference node. If there are dependent sources present, then the number of equations has to increase. In general, each dependent source introduces a variable which is unknown. If v is the number of variables that dependent sources depend on, then you need to write ne -1+v equations.

    75. 75 What do we do when we have voltage sources? Our steps when we have voltage sources depend on how the voltage sources appear. If the voltage source is in series with another element, we use that series element to come up with an expression for the current. If the voltage source is between the reference node and another essential node, we set that node-voltage equal to the voltage source, being careful about the polarity. If the voltage source is between two non-reference essential nodes, we write a supernode equation using a closed surface around the source (supernode equation), and write a KVL using the voltage source and the two node-voltages (constraint equation).
