Methods of Analysis - 2 ENTC 210: Circuit Analysis I Rohit Singhal Lecturer Texas A&M University

The two Approaches already learnt! Reduce and Return Approach!  Simplest technique  Does not apply to more complex circuits. Current Loop Method  Also known as “Mesh Analysis”

Super-mesh Currents

Nodal Analysis Identify the nodes in the circuit. Pick a reference node (usually the ground) Define node voltages with respect to the reference for all nodes. Apply KCL at all nodes.
