With the two techniques to be developed in this section, we can analyze almost any circuit by obtaining a set of simultaneous equations that are then solved to Section5 Basic Analysis Methods obtain the required values of current or voltage. One method of solving simultaneous equations involves Cramers rule, which allows us to calculate circuit variables as a quotient of determinants. Nodal Analysis A convenient choice of voltages for many networks is the set of node voltages. Since a voltage is defined as existing between two nodes, it is convenient to select one node in the network to be a reference node or datum node and then associate a voltage or a potential with each of the other nodes. Section5 Basic Analysis Methods The voltage of each of the non-reference nodes with respect to the reference node is defined to be a node voltage. It is common practice to select polarities so that the node voltages are positive relative to the reference node. For a circuit containing N nodes, there will be N–1 node voltages, some of which may be known, of course, if voltage sources are present. Frequently the reference node is chosen to be the node to which the largest number of branches are connected. Many practical circuits are built on a Section5 Basic Analysis Methods metallic base or chassis, and usually there are a number of elements connected to the chassis, which is often then con
