3. CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

 

· The techniques of circuit analysis focus on trying to derive equations that describe a circuit.

 

· In general most of the techniques attempt to simplify analysis by breaking the circuit into parts, loops, etc.

 

· Some well known techniques include,

  1. - mesh currents
  2. - node voltages
  3. - superposition
  4. - thevinen and norton equivalents

 

 

3.1 KIRCHOFF'S LAWS

3.2 THEVENIN AND NORTON EQUIVALENTS

3.3 CIRCUITS CONTAINING CAPACITORS AND INDUCTORS
