Nodal Analysis
• There are two basic methods that are used for
solving any electrical network: Nodal
analysis and Mesh analysis. In this chapter, let
us discuss about the Nodal analysis method.
• In Nodal analysis, we will consider the node
voltages with respect to Ground. Hence, Nodal
analysis is also called as Node-voltage
method.
Procedure of Nodal Analysis

Follow these steps while solving any electrical network or


circuit using Nodal analysis.
• Step 1 − Identify the principal nodes and choose one of
them as reference node. We will treat that reference node
as the Ground.
• Step 2 − Label the node voltages with respect to Ground
from all the principal nodes except the reference node.
• Step 3 − Write nodal equations at all the principal nodes
except the reference node. Nodal equation is obtained by
applying KCL first and then Ohm’s law.
• Step 4 − Solve the nodal equations obtained in Step 3 in
order to get the node voltages.

Example 1
Find the current flowing through 20 Ω resistor of
the following circuit using Nodal analysis
Solution
• Step 1 − There are three principle nodes in
the above circuit. Those are labelled as 1, 2,
and 3 (reference node) in the following figure.
Step 2 − The node voltages, V1 and V2, are
labelled in the following figure.
Step 3 − In this case, we will get two nodal
equations, since there are two principal nodes,
1 and 2, other than Ground. When we write the
nodal equations at a node, assume all the
currents are leaving from the node for which
the direction of current is not mentioned and
that node’s voltage as greater than other node
voltages in the circuit.
Step 4 − Finding node voltages, V1 and V2 by
solving Equation 1 and Equation 2.
Step 5 − The voltage across 20 Ω resistor is
nothing but the node voltage V2 and it is equal
to 40 V. Now, we can find the current flowing
through 20 Ω resistor by using Ohm’s law.
THE STRATEGY FOR NODE ANALYSIS 1. IDENTIFY ALL NODES AND SELECT
A REFERENCE NODE

2. IDENTIFY KNOWN NODE VOLTAGES

3. AT EACH NODE WITH UNKNOWN


VOLTAGE WRITE A KCL EQUATION
(e.g.,SUM OF CURRENT LEAVING =0)
REFERENCE
4. REPLACE CURRENTS IN TERMS OF
NODE VOLTAGES

AND GET ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS IN


THE NODE VOLTAGES ...

SHORTCUT: SKIP WRITING


THESE EQUATIONS...

AND PRACTICE WRITING

IN MOST CASES THERE


ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT
WAYS OF SOLVING A Once node voltages are known
PROBLEM

CURRENTS COULD BE COMPUTED DIRECTLY


USING KCL AND CURRENT DIVIDER!!
3 nodes plus the reference. In
principle one needs 3 equations...

…but two nodes are connected to


the reference through voltage
sources. Hence those node
voltages are known!!!

…Only one KCL is necessary

Hint: Each voltage source


connected to the reference THESE ARE THE REMAINING
node saves one node equation TWO NODE EQUATIONS
Nodal Analysis: Example 2, using circuit values.

Find V1 and V2.

At v1:

At v2:

8
From Eq
V1 + 2V1 – 2V2 = 20
or
3V1 – 2V2 = 20

From Eq

4V2 – 4V1 + V2 = -120


or
-4V1 + 5V2 = -120

Solution: V1 = -20 V, V2 = -40 V


Nodal Analysis: Example 3: Numerical example with voltage
source.

What do we do first?
At v1:

At v2:
Clearing Eq
4V1 + 10V1 + 100 – 10V2 = -200
or
14V1 – 10V2 = -300
Clearing Eq 6.16

4V2 + 6V2 – 60 – 6V1 = 0


or
-6V1 + 10V2 = 60

V1 = -30 V, V2 = -12 V, I1 = -2 A
