CHAPTER 11 ADVANCED METHODS OF DC AND AC CIRCUIT ANALYSIS Learning Objectives As a result of successfully completing this chapter, you should be able to: 1. Explain why more sophisticated methods of circuit analysis are required. 2. Solve for voltages and currents in circuits using the mesh analysis circuit technique. 3. Solve for voltages and currents in circuits using the nodal (node voltage) analysis circuit technique. 4. Perform delta-wye conversions. 5. Explain why bridge circuits are used and determine if a bridge circuit is balanced. From previous math courses, you should be able to; a. Set up simultaneous algebraic equations from application of the appropriate circuit laws. b. Use a calculator to obtain the solution to a set of simultaneous equations. c. Knowledge of the mechanics of solving simultaneous equations is assumed from previous courses. d. Insert the solutions back into the original or other appropriate equations to check the solution. e. This step will reinforce the concept of a simultaneous solution.
