Ohms Law
The relationship between Voltage, Current and Resistance in any
DC electrical circuit was firstly discovered by the German
physicist Georg Ohm, (1787 - 1854). Georg Ohm found that, at
a constant temperature, the electrical current flowing through a
fixed linear resistance is directly proportional to the voltage
applied across it, and also inversely proportional to the
resistance. This relationship between the Voltage, Current and
Resistance forms the bases of Ohms Law and is shown below.

basic procedure for solving Mesh Current Anaysis
equations is as follows:
1. Label all the internal loops with circulating currents. (I1, I2, ...IL etc)
2. Write the [ L x 1 ] column matrix [ V ] giving the sum of all voltage
sources in each loop.
3. Write the [ L x L ] matrix, [ R ] for all the resistances in the circuit
as follows;
R11 = the total resistance in the first loop.
Rnn = the total resistance in the Nth loop.
RJK = the resistance which directly joins loop J to Loop K.
4. Write the matrix or vector equation [V] = [R] x [I] where [I] is the
list of currents to be found.
Nodal Voltage Analysis
In the above circuit, node D is chosen as the reference node and the other three nodes are assumed to have
voltages, Va, Vb and Vc with respect to node D. For example;
As Va = 10v and Vc = 20v , Vb can be easily found by:
Nodal Analysis Summary.
The basic procedure for solving Nodal Analysis equations is as follows:
1. Write down the current vectors, assuming currents into a node are
positive. ie, a (N x 1) matrices
for "N" independent nodes.
4. The voltage vector will be (N x L) and will list the "N" voltages to be found
