4.1 Introduction

To analyze an electric circuit, we write and solve a set of equations. We apply Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws to get some of the equations. The constitutive equations of the circuit elements, such as Ohm's law, provide the remaining equations. The unknown variables are element currents and voltages. Solving the equations provides the values of the element current and voltages.

This method works well for small circuits, but the set of equations can get quite large for even moderate-sized circuits. A circuit with only 6 elements has 6 element currents and 6 element voltages. We could have 12 equations in 12 unknowns. In this chapter, we consider two methods ...
