Node and Loop Analysis
• Node analysis and loop analysis are both circuit analysis methods which are systematic and apply to most circuits
• Analysis of circuits using node or loop analysis requires solutions of systems of linear equations
• These equations can usually be written by inspection of the circuit
Lect4 EEE 202 3
Steps of Nodal Analysis
1. Choose a reference (ground) node.
2. Assign node voltages to the other nodes.
3. Apply KCL to each node other than the reference node; express currents in terms of node voltages.
4. Solve the resulting system of linear equations for the nodal voltages.

Example: A Summing Circuit
• The output voltage V of this circuit is proportional to the sum of the two input currents I1 and I2
• This circuit could be useful in audio applications or in instrumentation
• The output of this circuit would probably be connected to an amplifier

How to Proceed?
• The 0.7-V voltage supply makes it impossible to apply KCL to nodes 2 and 3, since we don’t know what current is passing through the supply
• We do know that
V2 – V3 = 0.7 V
• The above is a needed constraint equation
