A linear time-invariant memoryless circuit can contain linear resistors (i.e.,resistors
that obey Ohm’s Law) and linear dependent sources.
In addition to linear resistors and linear dependent sources, the circuit will also
contain independent voltage sources and independent current sources. Independent voltage
sources and current sources are non-linear elements.
4.1 THE CIRCUIT ANALYSIS PROBLEM
Let such a memoryless circuit contain b such elements interconnected to form nnodes and
lloops. Each two-terminal element has two variables associated with it – a voltage and a cur-
rent variable. Thus, there are 2b variables to be solved for in the circuit ...
