1/1

NodeA point or junction where two or morecircuit’s elements (resistor, capacitor,inductor etc) meet is called NodeBranch

That part or section of circuit whichlocate between two junctions is calledbranchIn branch, one or more elements canbe connected and they have twoterminals.LoopA closed path in circuit where morethan two meshes can be occurred iscalled loop i.e. there may be manymeshes in a loop, but a mesh does notcontain on one loop.MeshA closed loop which contains no otherloop within it or a path which does notcontain on other paths is called esh.
