Nodes, Branches
▪ branch represents a single element such as a voltage source or a
resistor
In other words, a branch represents any two-terminal element.
The circuit in Fig. has five branches, namely, the 10-V voltage source,
the 2-A current source, and the three resistors.
▪ node is the point of connection between two or more branches.
4
Kirchhoff ’s Current Law (KCL)
▪ The algebraic sum of the currents entering and leaving any point in a circuit must equal zero. Or stated another way,
the algebraic sum of the currents into any point of the circuit must equal the algebraic sum of the currents out of
that point. Otherwise, charge would accumulate at the point, instead of having a conducting path. An algebraic sum
means combining positive and negative values.

Mesh Analysis
▪ Nodal analysis applies KCL to find unknown voltages in a given circuit, while mesh analysis applies KVL to find
unknown currents.
▪ A mesh is a loop which does not contain any other loops within it.
