Basic Concepts of Circuit Analysis

Presumptuions in Circuit Analysis

No Time Delay

  • Time delay leads to transmission line theory (Wiki ).

No Radiation

  • Radiation loss = Energy loss.

  • KVL and KCl are based on Energy Convervation.

Linerity

  • All components exhibit a linear relationship between the current input and the voltage output. =>

How to Solve a Circuit?

Three Laws in Circuit Analysis

Node, Branch, Loop and Mesh

  • Node: A point where two or more components contact.
  • Branch: component.
  • Loop: A closed path in a circuit without passing through any intermediate node more than once.
  • Mesh: A loop that does not enclosed any other loops.

KCL (Kirchhoff's Current Law)

  • The sum of the current leaving any node in a circuit equals to 0. ()

  • KCL is based on the conservation of charge.

    • => =
  • Ex:
